#1 Adhesive for Koolmat

Post by guyjohnwood@aol.com » Thu Jan 07, 2016 9:02 pm

Hello,

I have some pre cut Koolmat for my FHC. Sadly, it did not come with any adhesive, and the brand recommended is proving difficult to source. Can anyone suggest another adhesive to fix the Koolmat to the car ( ie not the grey side which faces up )

Thanks,

Guy

Hi there,

I think you have to use a neoprene rubber.
You pre glued 2 parts, you wait enough and you press the 2 parts one on the
other.

I used hi temp contact cement from the local building center. Be aware that if you have any bitumen sound deadening installed then that has to come out, as the contact cement won't properly adhere to it with this cement - at least it didn't in my case.
