Okay I have a set of sail panels to install before Saturday and don't wanna lose 'em, what is the best way to glue those bad boys on the door?

As a second, The piece of cladding for the pass door has the metal broken and I need to glue it back to the cladding before I bolt it back on, thinking 2-part epoxy?


thanks guys. Less than 72 hours to finish my prep.

I used thick 3M tape on the FATWUDY and it held as long as I owned it...

Urethane windshield adhesive. You will never lose that panel again.

Just make sure to mask the area around there because that goo is messy.

Let me know what you use and how well it works. I still haven't put mine back on. I was waiting for you to "practice" so hopefully I only have to do this once Laughing

Now that we know 3M tape is good for 72 hours... it could have many other applications. Smile

well I might use some of the tile adhesive I have left over from the kitchen counter......or go with the Phillips head rhinstone look Nick suggested. If I have time I'll get the windshield goo otherwise it'll be silicone....(stuck the grille ornament back on with that 2nite).
