Hood Gasket glue.

[Ollie Rastabean]

What do you guys use to stick down the stock hood gasket??

I tried the old HT glue.... No worky. Did not bond very well to the gasket.

Super Glue.

Go to a hobby store and get a small bottle of it, actual name is cyanoacrylate, or CA for short. It's like $6 for a small bottle that will do several skis. I like the 10-20 second set stuff but you can get slower or faster set times.

Copy that, and you can also get it in black. I use it and my seal has not come loose one time since!

I've been using the 3M stuff for several years and no problems yet.

I just used the backing that came on my seal material from McMaster Carr. The stuff sticks great!

Are you using an OEM seal, or an aftermarket?

do you know what kind you used and how is it working for you?
thanks

I'm planning on using the 3m weather stripping adhesive on my new oem seal. Do you need to weigh down the seal with an unlatched hood as it bonds (assuming no goop sticks is leaking around the edges) or just kind of smush it in place? Also, I still had some bits and pieces of old glue around the lip when I repainted - should I scuff this up a little bit or will it be fine?

I used the 3m, not working too well........ next time, contact or superglue.

 

[RoyalFlush@PCB]

Excellent timing on this topic---my hood seal needs to be re-glued.

AFTER I replace a broken steering cable. :banghead:

The 3M Weatherstripping in black can be had at auto stores like Autozone.

I've gotten decent sized bottles of Super Glue (cyanoacrylate) from Target.

 

[Ollie Rastabean]

I used super glue.

Cannot comment on the durability. Only been on the water three times since then. No serious surf.

Its been holding up really well on the stand in my garage.

Uh-Oh I just used some of my contact cement. Will this hold? or should I rip it off?

 

[ski4]

shoot same boat here, need to do mine this week or so and also was thinking about using contact cement, seem like it should hold
hell it holds that damn turf in place pretty well
