side plastic thingi comming off???

[rnbguy]

im not sure what this is called but those side plastic protectors that go around the whole car, the one on the left corner of the bumper is falling off... whats the best product to use to glue that back on?

[EuroDude]

I used Araldite Epoxy Resin on my Civic's plastic trims and it worked great. The only problem is that its somewhat permanent :p

[rnbguy]

how long does it take to dry ?

and is it strong and suitable (wet/heat) for bumper plastic use?

[EuroDude]

Yes its very strong and will bond to most plastics and dries rock hard. It takes about 1 hour to dry then another 24 hours or so to dry to full strength.

U can buy it at hardware stores and maybe petrol stations / woolies.

Don't use GLUE!!!!!!

Use trim tape. Available from AutoOne.

Trim tape or sikaflex - 2 most commonly used by smashies for bodykit parts.

theres nothing a bit of double sided tape cant do ;)

[rnbguy]

thanx but i cant imagine double sided tape to hold this in place??? the piece has alot of resistance, it wants to fling out

[EuroDude]

For the left corner bumper protector, you can use Araldite. Just use a small amount, if you have an accident, the bumper would be a write off anyway.

Just dont use Araldite on other removable parts such as glueing the bumper to the chassis :p

[rnbguy]

on that site u linked, theres a few Araldite , which one do u recomend?

[EuroDude]

Selleys Araldite Super Strength ftw

[rnbguy]

man i tried that glue, terrible i gotta say, it just oozes everywhere, its not strong enough to hold it together, and its messy,,, got it all clean now finally, i think i might do the trim tape with a touch of glue assistance, bloody thing wont sit in place
