Glass to steel glue
Simon - 8/9/14 at 09:45 PM

The glass for (one of) my budget rooflight has arrived - double glazed unit with toughened one side and laminated t'other.

I'll be making a steel frame (angle iron or similar) for it to rest on, which will be screwed to timber upstand. However, the glass will be glued to the steel and I'l like glue recommendations please - typical windscreen adhesive of something else (it'll also have a couple of steel straps)

Cheers

I'd go for a PU adhesive like tigerseal or sikaflex.

needs to be flexible ie silkaflex tigerseal to allow for any shrinkage expansion

sikaflex

Don't Autoglass and such use some black stuff, ask them.

It will also need some soft plastic spacers
