Default Window Bonding Followup

Pursuant to an inquiry last week about a good way to reattach a '69
side window to its channel, I emailed 3M. Finally got answer:



Dear CJ the Magnificent:

Subject = Automotive Adhesive Application

Message = Our auto discussion group is pondering the existence of a
high-strength glass-to-metal glue, in particular one that would bond the
side window of a '69 Mustang to its lower rail. This is a common
separation point.

Answer:

3M has two products the will bond the side window glass to the lower
channel rail.
3M Automix Channel Bonding and Sidelite Adhesive, Part No. 08641
or 3M Structural Adhesive. Both of these products are two-part systems
that
need to be mixed. They are both fast curing products that need to be
used
within about 3 minutes after mixing. I would suggest using the 3M
Structural Adhesive as it will give a slightly stronger bond.

Also, is there a list of your adhesives and other products that have
found
common use amongst car builders? Your alpha product list is too
extensive
to sort through. Thank you for your reply.

If you go on the internet and go to www.3M.com you can get to the
Automotive Aftermarket catalogue and look at the adhesives listed that
we
sell to the market.
After getting into the 3M site click on "United States", then click on
"Products and Services" on the top bar. Then look under "Transportation
Industry" and click on "Automotive". Then click on "Automotive
Aftermarket". On the pull down bar on the right side, click on "Product
Catalog" then select "Adhesive, Coating and Sealants". This will break
down into the products use in the glass market, truck repair market,
Collision shop and mechanical. You should be able to reduce your
selection
process from these product categories.

I hope this helps you with your selection process. There are multiple
products to do most of the applications and they can get to a personal
preference.
