Following on from a phone call I had earlier this week I thought that I
had better try this.

We were talking about the problem of securely gluing a strip of flexible
gasket into a metal back box.

I suggested "Gorilla Glue", which is a low expansion foam and sticks
like $hit to the proverbial blanket. Having suggested it I thought that
I'd better try it. Just a very thin line of it inside the strip plus a
bit of moisture, an hour or so wait and it is well and truly stuck.
Nothing short of an angle grinder will move it!

Apart from the time delay it seems quite promising.

Does any one else have a favourite gluing method?

Evostik?


Maybe, it needs to be quite firm and not give way if long lengths cables
are pulled through the aperture.
