C7 Owl Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 The rubber surround on front carbon wings are coming off. What sort of glue is best to reattach once iv removed and cleaned area? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisC Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Super glue is recommended by the build manual. Personally I don't like that trim and build using a less permanent alternative, making removal post IVA possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Geoff Brown Posted October 13, 2021 Area Representative Share Posted October 13, 2021 Super glue is the instant solution. But if you ever want to remove the trim intact then there may be a problem & super glue will leave a nasty, possibly unremovable reminder on the carbon/lacquered surface.A good contact adhesive such as Bostik (aka 'gorilla snot') is sufficient as long as the edge & trim is cleaned & degreased properly. Also on removing the trim the contact adhesive can be removed with White Spirit & not leave a trace.The best way to apply is with a small brush or baby bud. Definitely required for getting into the contact surfaces of the trim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7 wonders of the world Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 I fitted mine previous with a few dabs of silicone - as I intended taking them off post test, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C7 Owl Posted October 14, 2021 Author Share Posted October 14, 2021 So its not an issue removing them even if IVA require. I suppose unless its an MOT item free to do as choose. Might take off clean up and then decide if old glue marks too visible or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike-360R Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 I didn't want to use SuperGlue on mine as I felt it was too permanent and didn't want it to damage the carbon cycle wings. I took a recommendation from Chris Collins build blog and used Zap Goo - available from ebay and Amazon. I've also used it on one or two other areas during my recent build.
