adhesive needed for outdoor application of rubber

adhesive needed for outdoor application of rubber

adhesive needed for outdoor application of rubber

(OP)
I have some smooth rubber applied to aluminum on an outdoor application using 3M77 spray adhesive that isn't working.

The rubber heats up, expands and comes loose. I need something that's not permanent, but will handle the heat. The material gets to a temp whereby you can only keep your hands on it for about 3 seconds before real pain sets in, not sure what temp that is? 150F?

I plan on the 3M90 spray unless someone else can give me a hint of a commercially available material that I can buy at Home Depot type stores.

Double sided tape may be usable too but the 3M material I have is more permanent that I'd desire.
Thanks,

kch

Can you use white rubber?

RE: adhesive needed for outdoor application of rubber

(OP)
Nope, can't.
The surface I mount to gets hot even if we put a sheet of white over the black rubber.

I just purchased 3M77,3M80(rubber bonding) and 3M90, will try out some experiments. Just curious if there's anything out there. It'd have to setup fast too, don't want to wait a day for it to setup.

thanks,

If they haven't changed the formula RectoSeal 5 was a very good rubber cement.

You won't get it at the Home Depot Fosters 81-33 is an excellent rubber adhesive and can take the heat.
If you have an industrial insulation company near by they might have it or you can look at Fosters list of suppliers.

You might want to try one of the 3M Super Weatherstrip Adhesives. They may have one type at HD or you local auto store. There are a bunch of variations on the theme on this page.
