Groomlakearea51 Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 What you are looking for is 3M 4016, 1/2" wide, 1/16" thick; unfortunately it's only sold in 36 yard rolls.... Look at http://www.amazon.com/3M-Scotch-4011-Exterior-Mounting/dp/B00004Z4BV/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1273851059&sr=1-13 I've had success with that and it's not too thick. If you want to make sure they won't come off (until about 10-15 years from now....) use contact cement or "DUCO" cement. Key is to clean the back of the logo and lightly sand it to remove any residue from the old glue (contact cement...). Apply a bead to both the grill cloth and the back of the badge, and allow to become "tacky" for about 4-5 minutes. Use a thick "bead" of glue in the center of the logo; do not "paint" the back. Reason? The glue must be just thick enough to penetrate the surface fibers of the cloth weave to adhere well enough not to fall off over time. Hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardP Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 I have used Scotch double sided tape, thin, like regular Scotch tape but...uhh, well...double sided. [:S] You can also put two or three layers together, but it won't be thick like the other type mentioned above. This was when I have a Quartet as center, and needed to relocate the name badge. It stayed on quite a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 I've used Scotch double-sided tape to attach a badge to one of my H2s, but it only holds the badge on for six months or so, then the badge falls off. Nothing wrong with the tape; I think the problem is that sticking it to cloth means it only adheres over a small percentage of its area, plus lots of air can get at the adhesive. It works much better on smooth surfaces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
