Weatherstrip Adhesive
77CVT:
Anyone used contact cement from places like Clarke Rubber?
Cameron 77C3:
I used that quick grip stuff. You know you put some on each surface, wait for both to go tacky then put the two surfaces together. Well it's coming unstuck. I'll be taking it off and going for the sikaflex now.

MADVET:
I have used "Permatex Super weatherstrip adhesive" which seems to be holding up with no probs so far.
It's just a pain to use as it also needs to have a skim of the stuff on each surface and let dry then you need to put some more on before you bring the two surfaces together. The other thing about this stuff is that it's yellow in colour so if some of the excess gets squeezed out you need to clean it off.
If i ever do this again i'll give that black sikaflex a try.
bootlegger:
I have just discovered a product made in New Zealand called Solgrip. I stuck all the rubbers on a Dodge truck. Its easy to apply, dries clear and is just the best contact I have ever used. It has been on the truck for 3 months now and hasnt budged. All the other contacts I have used have been a miserable failure. I bought it from Spectrum rubber supplies at Dunheved (the old Peter Jacksons). The phone number in New Zealand is 006435795772 (not sure if you need any other digits like 001). Email graeme@solcor.com. It really is top stuff. About bloody time. Dave
