terribleturner Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 I've got a clock for my bike that WAS attached by a sticky double sided sticker thing to another metal bracket. Replaced the battery today and i was being really carefull not to break it but right at the end it came unstuck. So i know need to stick it again so it doesn't come off at speed while going along the M1 Any suggestions?? May go just for super glue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 epoxy resin? polysulphide? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesG Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 If it was stuck with double-sided tape before, how about the same again? Number plate tape is very strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim_supra Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 Araldite will be your best bet. super strong glue that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merckx Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 Double Sided Self Adhesive Foam Pads. You need a good surface. Most glues will be too brittle and will not last with the vibration on the bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gzaerojon Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 epoxy resin? polysulphide? it doesn't stick very well untill you rough it up though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiversteve Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 A good quality mastic! I have used it to stick all sorts together, Metals, Plastic, wood. etc etc. Its currently holding my interior light up in the rear of my van and is surviving the heat of the sun fine.

terribleturner Posted May 7, 2006 Author Share Posted May 7, 2006 I don't trust those double side stick tabs TBH. It's the vibrating on the bike as merckx said. What about some sort of silicone sealant?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 Araldite will be your best bet. super strong glue that is. It is the only glue approved for the areo industry AFAIK, it will hold if you make sure both surfaces are completely grease free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
