tigerwoodKhorns Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 I need to glue some badges to grills. New heritage style cloth, the plasticly kind. I have some rubber cement, hot glue gun and Gorilla glue. The Gorilla glue seems too strong but maybe not. What do I use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has worked well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 I would use a good ceramic adhesive like Goop. Squirt some on a piece of cardboard and use a toothpick to spread it on the back of your emblem. Grill will have to be laying flat to do this.

tigerwoodKhorns Posted November 7, 2022 Author Share Posted November 7, 2022 Hmmm, out of what I have on hand, I guess the Gorila Glue. It seems like a permanent glue is a bad idea in case the grill cloth is ever damaged. I want to be able to remove the emblems and use them again. I should have some RTV or silicone. Maybe some painter's latex caulk. I love that stuff. Really tough but you can break the seal if need be. My friend who owns a granite business told me to use this to install sinks. I was going to use silicone but he said that if I ever needed to replace the sink, I would destroy the granite. He was right, the plain old caulk was really difficult to remove, but doable without destroying the counters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ordered the 300LSE. One seller on Amazon had a 40% coupon. My grill cloth is plastic. How to I prep this? I will lightly sand the backs of the aluminum badges, but I do not want to put thinner or acetone on the grill cloth. If need be I can test a solvent on a scrap as I have a big roll of the cloth.

The grille cloth is either Nylon or plastic , I would try alcohol instead of diluted solvent , heat up with a hair dryer and apply asap 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerwoodKhorns Posted November 15, 2022 Author Share Posted November 15, 2022 The 3M 300LSE is the way to go. Sticks well and can still peel off if need be. I tested a piece of uncleaned cloth last night and it stuck together very well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avguytx Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Glue/tape is the easy part. What would be nice is if there were badges/emblems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
