Sikaflex or no nails

[Petrolhead]

Need to fite some metal trim to the door of my mini. The existing casters don't work

So what would you recommend sikaflex or no nails

Agree, no nails for wood 'n' stuff.

[Petrolhead]

Thanks. Off to screwfix who sock it tomorrow

[Caulkhead]

Yep, Sikaflex - it won't take the paint off.

No more nails is a rigid adhesive where as Sikaflex, whichever one you use, is flexible. Not sure about the comment on the paint work being taken off by the no nails, the Sikaflex will have a higher adhesion to the paint than the paint will to the metal. However, if you need to reapply the Sikaflex, it will stick to itself so you don't need to remove it!

Non-branded windscreen bonding goop, 7 quid from your local windscreen replacement centre. Same as Sikaflex.

Ditto.

[Petrolhead]

Well it did not stick. Have put more on last night but confidence is low

Did I buy the wrong stuff?

So if not stuck tonight will get some Tiger Seal

Always worth importing some 3M automotive tape from the US but shipping costs are the killer. It will stick any trim to any car permanently and happily holds on the side scoops of the Mustang and the hood scoop to speeds well over 100.

Petrolhead- you did hold it on with tape overnight didn't you? That stuff takes ages to go off properly and should stick a bit of trim on...
By the way I don't use Sikaflex, I use Terostat which is used for bonding windscreens in- and I use Terostat primer on both parts first. I bond the cycle wings onto my Caterham with this stuff.

[Petrolhead]

Yes, I used cable ties

I used to use some back stuff to bond my wings onto my 7 but cant remember what it was

[s_zigmond]

As you have mentioned Tigerseal is the answer, or the glue they use for windscreens, but cant remember what its called.
