Adz2332 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Sikaflex hey all What Sikaflex would you use to hold on the rear over fenders on a r33? Didnt know there were so many types! Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/466530-sikaflex/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
PranK Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 I used to use Sikaflex all the time for repairing aluminium boats. I reckon the run of the mill 221 would be fine.

PranK Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 I should have asked before I replied before, but how much do they weigh? Are they just fibreglass? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/466530-sikaflex/#findComment-7770773 Share on other sites More sharing options...

V28VX37 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 21 hours ago, PranK said: Sweet, make sure you give both surfaces a good clean with acetone or similar. Also make sure you have good clamps to apply consistent pressure across the whole joint. I used Sikaflex for my boot lip spoiler, first go let it sit for 24 hours, it came off after a couple of months. Did some more sanding, re-installed and let cure for 48 hours with clamps, much better. http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/438115-how-to-install-boot-lip-and-roof-wing/ . It's only starting to let go a little now, two years later. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/466530-sikaflex/#findComment-7771128 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Livinlahtimmah Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Are you planning on blending/smoothing/painting them later on? If so I would use 3m panel bond, only stuff I have used that doesn't separate later on causing cracking issues.No doubt sika is a great product, but there are better options.http://3mcollision.com/3m-panel-bonding-adhesive-08115.html Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/466530-sikaflex/#findComment-7785485 Share on other sites More sharing options...
