Gorilla Glue is great for its
tenaciousness long-term, but it is anything BUT fast-drying. We use it in the
wood-working shop when we can clamp boards tightly together for a few days, but
not if time is an issue or if one would have to stand and hold something in
place for a day or two. I have found that the faster-hardening version of JB
WELD works very well for things of this sort, providing it is carefully applied
to a clean surface in a quantity that won’t squeeze out excess all over
the outside of the piece. If the back of the piece is just the slightest-bit
rough and also the mating-surface, it would help to give it some “tooth”
on which to grab and hold . I have several parts that have lost their fasteners
and have held for years with this stuff, including a cross-over exhaust-related
small tube that is under pull-away tension and had both bolts into the block
broken. Kristian Oyen From:

Behalf Of Burton Bouwkamp I am restoring a 1982 Imperial. I have three 1981-1983
Imperials - one project car and two parts cars. None of the three cars have the
crystal pentastar on the exterior opera lights on the "B" pillar. A
friend who has two 1981-1983 Imperials says they were glued on and have all
fallen off - and new parts are not available. What I am thinking about doing is glueing the crystal
pentastar from the steering wheel horn pad to the opera lights. I think it will
fit and I have two of those pentastars. The question is what glue should I use?
I am thinking about "gorilla" glue because I am impressed by their
advertising claims. Any thoughts on my proposal? Burt Bouwkamp --- USFamily.Net - $8.25/mo! -- Highspeed - $19.99/mo! --- |
