Looking for clear lap cement.
I need a product that has the same thickness and consistency and
waterproof quality as lap cement but is clear or transparent and not black or runny like Thompson’s. If anyone has any ideas I would greatly appreciate it. |

If anyone has any ideas I would greatly appreciate it. I don't know what lap cement is. Is that found in strip joints? www.thistothat.com is a good resource, I'm told, though I've not used it personally. Various formulations of optical cement are available, which are transparent. Seriously transparent, not homeowner quality transparent. |

Looking for clear lap cement.
Molly, it would be better to indicate what it is you are trying to
do. There is a version of clear silicone. I do NOT use or recommend silicone with the exception of Dow Corning 700 series products for anything of consequence. 3M also makes a clear version of weatherstrip adhesive. All adhesives depend greatly on application, preparation, and environment. Again, you might be better served by telling us what you are doing. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ DanG Keep the whole world singing . . . "Molly Brown" wrote in message ...

For example, if it needs to withstand a bit of cleaning (or a lot) then it's a different material from one used where it will be undisturbed. |

Completely undisturbed roofing. I would use five gallons of lap cement on it if it weren’t for the ugly black color it has. |
