adhesive for Land Cruiser Logo (1 Viewer)

[toadshade]

I am trying to put my new Land Cruiser Logo on the rear hatch. I cannot find any thread on what to use? Silicon adhesive? 3M body double sided tape? It would be hard to clamp but at leat I can leave it up and horizontal.

Doesn't the new part have an adhesive on it from Toyota?

3M VHB double sided tape and your golden.

[toadshade]

Cool. I will check out the tape.

And ToothDr, I mis-spoke. Not new. Came off an old Cruiser.

Thanks guys.

There are a bunch of 3M VHB tapes. You want the grey, foam one.

 

[toadshade]

Good thing. That is what I just got on Ebay.

I think it's 3M VHB 4991 tape. I just got a stack of 1"x5" strips of it off Amazon for general use.

 

[toadshade]

Yeah. Basically that is what I got in 2" strips by 5 feet. I am going to back the logo and trim it before applying it to the truck.

If you could take some photos and post the process that would be great. I need to do this and need some inspiration

 

[toadshade]

Sure thing. I am a little nervous. You only get one chance. I could see half of it covering my license plate by the time I am done.

 

[cahill]

Yeah, that is why I haven't tackled it either. Mine is still attached but loose so I am afraid it will just fall off going down the freeway if I don't re-do it soon.

I guess you could try squirting some silicon adhesive in there. I even thought of using construction adhesive like Quad. It is weather and UV proof and bonds to everything. It might be good in my case too since I could probably move it around a little if needed. It would be a pain to clean up though. I ordered the 3M tape so I am going to try it. I will keep posting the progress.

I used contact cement.....worked great.

 

[toadshade]

I thought about that. I am surprised it worked. It does not seem like it would be strong enough.

Thread revival.... Can one use the 3M Super Strength Molding Tape instead of the 3M VHB?

I just stuck my stock logo that had broken pins on with clear Gorilla two sided tape.
Let's hope it works.

I used contact cement a couple years ago and still no signs of wiggling or anything at all.
