My better half is trying to bond soft foam rubber to steel. She tried
gorilla glue today and it don't look good. What works best?

Contact cement. You may have to use the non (low)solvent variety on some
types of foam. Try a sample first.

Gorilla glue is too rigid.

I bond soft foam rubber to ballistic nylon fabric with 3M Super 77
spray adhesive, which is also used to bond headliners and landau tops
on cars (though they have a higher-heat version, too.)

What's her steel and how is this used? Temp extremes involved?

More info, please, Karl!

Try 3M upholstery and headliner adhesive. You can get it at just about
any auto parts store.

Clear RTV might do the trick.

And we know whay!


A LUMBERJACK!

(piano vamp)

Leaping from tree to tree! As they float down the mighty rivers of
British Columbia! With my best girl by my side!
The Larch!
The Pine!
The Giant Redwood tree!
The Sequoia!
The Little Whopping Rule Tree!
We'd sing! Sing! Sing!

Oh, I'm a lumberjack, and I'm okay,
I sleep all night and I work all day.

CHORUS: He's a lumberjack, and he's okay,
He sleeps all night and he works all day.

I cut down trees, I eat my lunch,
I go to the lava-try.
On Wednesdays I go shoppin'
And have buttered scones for tea.

Mounties: He cuts down trees, he eats his lunch,
He goes to the lava-try.
On Wednesdays 'e goes shoppin'
And has buttered scones for tea.

CHORUS

I cut down trees, I skip and jump,
I like to press wild flowers.
I put on women's clothing,
And hang around in bars.

Mounties: He cuts down trees, he skips and jumps,
He likes to press wild flowers.
He puts on women's clothing
And hangs around.... In bars???????

CHORUS

I chop down trees, I wear high heels,
Suspendies and a bra.
I wish I'd been a girlie
Just like my dear papa.

Mounties: He cuts down trees, he wears high heels
Suspendies?? and a .... a Bra????
(spoken, raggedly) What's this? Wants to be a *girlie*? Oh, My!
And I thought you were so rugged! Poofter!

CHORUS

All: He's a lumberjack, and he's okaaaaaaayyy..... (BONG)

Sound Cue: The Liberty Bell March, by John Phillip Sousa.
-or-
================================================== =============================

Dear Sir,
I wish to complain on the stronglyest possible terms about the previous
entry in this file about the lumberjack who wears womens' clothes. Some
of
my best friends are lumberjacks, and only a FEW of them are
transvestites.

Yours faithfully,
Brigadier Sir Charles Arthur Strong, Mrs.

Try 3M upholstery and headliner adhesive. You can get it at just about
any auto parts store.

Also 3M Super Weatherstrip Adhesive, AKA "Gorilla Snot". Available
in both black and natural yellow. A thick contact adhesive made to
bond foam rubber to painted or bare steel, and the glue bond usually
lasts longer than the foam.

while we're at it, i have some rubber-ish weatherstripping in my car sealing
the back hatch. at the corners, it's glued together rather than being a
single piece. replacement is in the $400 range so i'd like to try to glue it
back together. it's not torn anywhere.

any ideas what would work?

regards,
charlie

If the Auto Parts can find the generic bulk weatherstrip profile
that matches the car, you can order a full roll of the foam. The
corners, you clip a wedge out of the inside of the curve, apply a dab
of black Gorilla Snot, let dry, stick together.

http://www.auveco.com/ is one source.

You can also get the 'plastic barb fasteners every six inches' foam
in bulk too (Sixties GM products among others) but you might have to
stick it in the holes and make the miter splice in place. (The
"factory" has a jig to locate the molded corners.)

When you get back to where you started, you can either make a butt
splice or a 45-degree scarfed splice.

Dust the contact areas of glue line with a bit of talc or chalk so
it doesn't stick to the door frame till it's well and truly set.

That stuff is good for about a year, after which the bond fails.

Au contraire, mon capitan. I spray both sides, allow the stuff to
tack off, and then adhere, applying weight overnight for my glare
guards, since they're to be flexible. I haven't had a failure from
delamination since I started that, and I have decade-old sample glare
guards which are still hanging in there nicely. None shows any sign of
delamination. It's really good ****, Maynard.

If you've had failures, it's likely due to either a lack of consistent
adhesive thickness (light spray), improper application, or a bad foam.
