engine bay - sound/heat padding?
I need to re-attach the sound/heat pad in the engine bay ('87 911). The pad is in good shape but needs to be re-attached at the top. Is 3M Weatherstip Adhesive (black) the best for this minor job? It is tagged as "highly flamable". Or is there something better to use.
as always, thanks. Dave |

3M Super Weatherstrip Adhesive works just fine in this situation.

+1 ^ You'll find the goo in the red and white 3M Weatherstrip adhesive tube to be up to the task. Be sure to apply to both surfaces, push them together, then pull them apart and let sit for about 2 minutes - it sets up tacky and on second pushdown locks the items to one another. Very effective.

thanks for the advice. No issue with engine heat given it's labeled as "highly flamable"?

Can a new one be fitted w/o removing the engine?

You might want to check the foam more closely, when it starts breaking down, the pad will sag and droop, it looks ok, but no amount of glue will hold it back up go very long. Our host has them, pretty cheap considering the amount of work and Bactine required.

the "sag" isn't bad at all and the pad is still in good condition. It's really just re-attaching it a bit at the very top. Given the engine heat, just wanted to make sure the 3M adhesive was safe to use.

flamable?
The flammable warning is primarily in it's liquid state, in which it has a BUNCH of solvents. When you use it, those solvents mostly escape during the curing process. Once it's cured, It'll burn if lit but, it would no longer be considered 'highly flammable'. I'm no expert but I'm quite comfortable that this is correct.
Good luck. cd |
