I was fortunate enough that my garage door manufacturer had a trim piece in stock. Now I've got to determine which glue is adequate for the two different surface materials and relentless sun shining on the garage. The garage door skin in metal and the trim piece is FRP (fiber reinforced plastic). The piece is 40" long and about 4" wide. However, there are three rails on the back side that make contact with the metal door skin. Bostik has a great description of what I need (even mentions door applications), but they don't appear to sell directly to the public. Bostik garage door info 3M has a couple options - DP420S etc. 3M glue stuff Ideally I could find something at Lowe's, Home Depot or a flooring store. Any affordable suggestions? Russ P229 | ||

If you don't want to ever remove it 3M 5200 caulking, they sell it at HD and Lowes......if you want to be able to get it off and remove it yet still have a very good bond. 3M 4200 caulk. Should also be able to find it at Lowe's or HD, can definitely find it at a West Marine store. | |||

Auto parts store. Body molding adhesive or weather strip adhesive might be where I would start. | |||

5200 is regularly used on boats/marine environment and is often considered a 'permanent' bond/sealant. It does have a long cure time so holding it in place while it cures may be difficult so that may be a consideration. I reject your reality and substitute my own. --Adam Savage, MythBusters | |||

I had great luck with Loctite Power Grab Ultimate. I used this to bond fiberglass felted rigid insulation panels to the tin walls and ceiling of my shop a few years ago and everything is still solid and hanging. I thought I'd be reglueing(?) the odd piece here and there, nothing yet. Great stuff to work with and readily available at the stores you mentioned. | |||

I went to Lowe's. I grab a tube of 5200, JB Weld Plastic Bonder, and another JB product. After comparing the pros and cons, I went with the Plastic Bonder epoxy kit. It applied easy enough and the piece is in place. I've got five bar clamps holding it in place. The 5200 looked pretty gnarly but the long cure time and not being able to close my door for a while was a consideration and why I ultimately used the JB epoxy. P229 | |||

As an FYI for future reference 5200 comes in a quick cure formula also. NRA Life Member | |||

This. I’ve seen that stuff used on job sites. It’s amazing what it can do. ——————————————— The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Psalm 14:1 | |||

YES. The fast cure has a red label and cures in 1 hour. The blue label (standard) is a 24 hour cure time, but from experience if it's 90F outside, it's pretty well cured in 6 hours or less if it's not too thick. | |||

Is that the stuff they refer to as 'panel bond'? ----------------------------- Guns are awesome because they shoot solid lead freedom. Every man should have several guns. And several dogs, because a man with a cat is a woman. Kurt Schlichter | |||

Used this on plastic ceiling tiles in my bathroom about 6 years ago. 2' x 4' tiles with a dime size dot every foot or so, still holding great after 6 years of hot showers. | |||

E6000 is an extremely good adhesive and will bond anything to anything! Commonly available at hardware stores and craft stores. | |||
