adhesive

I have just removed the roof liner (T6) and found that some of the mastic (glue?) seems to have melted and dripped out causing the separation of the the roof skin from the cross member. It's like a very sticky tar like substance, which means I can't replace it with Sikaflex until I clean it all...

Unfortunately I bought the wrong colour and only found out when I cut the top. Free to anyone that wants to collect from Brighton. Would suit a white van or motorhome I guess. Was £26 new so a bit of a waste for me.

A bit of plastic fog light cover has fallen off the front bumper its a sportline style bumper spoiler, the plastic bit covers where fog lights would go if fitted. this looks like it has been glued on as there is some adhesive left where it fell off. What adhesive / glue would be best to use...

Hi everyone, Just picked up our new 2013 Transporter and starting to strip the back ready for conversion. I have cut the battens for the floor and wanted some opinions on what to stick them down with. My plan is to get a ply floor with the holes for the kombi rear seats and then secure it...

I've got a T6.1 which is ply-lined and four years ago I stuck down some carpet lining. It's now looking really tatty and, as it's really just a van (rather than a camper) I'm now thinking some rubber on the floor might be better. I'd be grateful for anyone's recommendations and also some...

Hi I’m after some advice please Had my T5.1 for around 6 years now and it had a tailgate spoiler fitted when I bought it. Unfortunately it blew off in the storm a few weeks ago , didn’t realise it was loose and luckily the van was parked up at the time. It looks like it was fastened with 3M...

Might be a daft question but regarding installation Do you key the surface prior to bonding or just bond both shiny surfaces together It’ll never been seen under the spoiler anyway but just wondering prior to installing Just wondering how well it takes on bonding two painted surfaces together...

I had a conversion company attach my Leighton vans front spoiler and splitter to my van - after a few months it started to come away from the van, and then got to the stage where I just had to remove it completely. It appears to have been stuck on using a PU adhesive of some sort……maybe Sikaflex...

Hi all, I am starting my firt project - a T6 from 2016. Prviously owned by a gas installation company. I got to removing the previously installed plywood flooring, but find that it seems to be glued onto the corrugated base of the van (glues only to the raised parts of the corrugate). I...

Do I need to use activator / primer for Sikaflex 522 when bonding on an awning rail ?

Hi all. I'm taking tentative steps into powering my internal lights etc with a battery pack. I'd like to install a solar panel on my pop-top. What kind of fixings should I used to attch the panel to the Reimo pop-top (fibreglass) roof? The panel has 6 fixing points. Should I bond it down too...

The problem - a year after getting my ex British Gas van, dark patches became noticeable on the paintwork, mainly on the leading faces of the vehicle. On examination, there was still some residue from the vinyl wrap that was collecting (I assume) vehicle particulates. Only became noticeable...

So a year ago or so I bought a full set of skirt body mouldings, including wheel arches from a reputable dealer. They were fitted by a local VW conversion company. It turned out that several of the individual pieces didn’t match the color of others. I eventually had the company agree to...

I've only used 20% of this. I have no further use for the remainder so if anyone wants it, it is free to collector from my place in Bristol

So bear with me. Been looking at getting this (btw, any thoughts on how good these ones are where the wires are discreetly positioned under the back of the panel?): Solar Technology – 150 Watt Flexi Solar Panel – Black Rear Exit – STPVF150RBS - Batteries and Solar ...And after watching people...

After reading a few threads mentioning the hassle of removing carpet adhesive and folk using all sorts invluding brake fluid i was forced to raid the garage chemicals for same. Gave some WD40 Contact cleaner a go and found it works a treat, best of all the fumes aren't too bad and it dries...

Hi all, Fitted barn door rear spoilers several months ago now. The bond has been strong for most of that time but noticed today that the spoilers have both come loose. I used Sikaflex 221 and followed all instructions. Is it common for Sikaflex to fail in such a short time? Not...

Hello. I’m investigating which type of Sikaflex I should use to bond the aero panels upon which I’ll fix my 325W rigid solar panel. I purchased two sets of the black aero panels from Batteries and Solar The panel is large, 1m x 1.7m so I want to make sure there’s no chance of it coming off I...
