running board rubber glue?
I have the new running board pyramid rubber mid-1930 Cabriolet that comes with a white paper covering adhesive backing that is peeled off to stick them on.
Is this good enough, or should I use some additional weatherstrip adhesive to hold it down before I start to install the zinc strips that hold down the edges?

Re: running board rubber glue?
I have only used contact cement so I can't help you with experience but if I were in your shoes I would add the adhesive.

Re: running board rubber glue?
I have new mats that I will be installing soon, no self adhesive on these, I'll be using some of the super 3M stuff.

Re: running board rubber glue?
3M spray is much easier to get on evenly and avoid bubbles.

Re: running board rubber glue?
The last Swap Meet that I attended I spoke with a fellow that sold running board rubber and installed them. I asked what adhesive he used and he showed me this: GM 550 Polyurethane Adhesive Sealant Fast Cure.

Re: running board rubber glue?
Afordman31,
Is the GM adhesive a spray or is it applied another way (brush maybe)? I am about ready to put the matting on my 29 phaeton runningboards and don't want to have trouble(bubbles) like I did with the coupe using contact cement. Rusty Nelson |

3M makes SEVERAL differing spray adhesives. I've used different types of 3M spray, depending on what I need to happen with job. For instance, one type spray tacks/dries more slowly and you get a small window for shifting part. Whereas, another spray keeps the part(s) in place immediately. Choose wisely. All are great at what they do ! |

Re: running board rubber glue?
What was it like in "bygone" days, WITHOUT the modern GLUES/ADHESIVES, that we enjoy NOW? They'd glue something, let it sit for DAYS & it'd jist fall apart +=*$^%#$^ (PROFANITY that I can't display HERE!)

Re: running board rubber glue?
Was in a tube Rusty, not spray. He said that there was working time and that he had weighted the running board rubber after getting it in position!
