HI

Can any one recommend a good strong glue? I need to bond a piece of stainless steel trim to a solid plastic bumper. I want it too last!

Preparation is the key to success I suspect.

Maybe araldite?

Tigerseal, almost all the body panels on my 7 including the front cycle wings are bonded on using it, you will pull whatever it's fixed to off before it gives way, some flexibility in it too.

Any good auto factors should have it, possibly under different brand names but they will know what your asking for, in your case use a very thin Kaye, spead it eveny use masking tape to hold it in position whilst it cures. Once set you will be able to pull the bumper off with it.

Yep, ideal for that sort of use. Follow the instructions (notably about temperature as it's going to be cold this week - and the cleanliness of the surfaces) and crack on. thumbup

Another vote for Tigerseal.

Just make sure you do the job properly because once you break the seal the whole tube will cure after a short while.

Baking powder and super-glue mixed together. Seriously strong.

You'll get the Mother Of All constipation, though.
