Probably been covered before, but I have little luck searching here.....

I need to bond/glue aluminium wing stays to grp, what's the best to use?

Generic description, if possible, as some brands may not be available here.

Cheers,

Alan

PU Adhesive in UK we use:
Tiger Seal, Sikaflex, Texflex ( paint shops) Wurth bond and seal, Evostick seriously strong stuff, www. carbuildersolutions.co.uk own brand PU.

Be Lucky Mike.

I've used Sikaflex which is a brand of PU adhesive, sticks like turd on wool. I've bonded my wings to my wing stays (Steel rather than ali though.) and i broke the arches before i broke the bond when i changed up a wheel size.

Ah good...looks like I can get sikaflex over here....anyone recall which sikaflex number?

221 is generally used, although Ive used EBT through out and have yet to have a problem with it.

I've used generic polyurethane adhesive to bond GRP cycle wings to powder coated steel. after 3 years, the powder coat came off the steel but the adhesive was as strong as ever.

If i remember rightly i used Sikaflex 291 available from boat chandlers , damn good stuff .

Thanks everyone....good info...

are you sure the alluminium items are strong enough I have seen several sets of steel wing stays fracture due to vibration, on several differnt vehicles including MK, Locost caterham etc
