3m Spray Glue Knowledge Base
Spray glue flammable after it dries? Bought some 3M spray adhesive for styrofoam today. It warns that the liquid and vapors are flammable, so not sure if it still is after it dries or not? Using it for foam sculpting that I'll be using a hot knife on once the glue dries and just need to make sure it's ok.
What tape should I use for picture mounting / matts? Hi I have mounted some prints onto card with 3m spray glue, which has worked well. I've then placed a mount on top. The mount doesn't hold so well with the glue, and I wondered if there was a certaint type of tape I could buy to tape all around the backing board attaching it to the mat? (the mount board at the back is smaller than the mat, so I have room for tape) I hope I have made some sense! Thanks
Good glue for car upholstery....? I hear 3M spray glue goes bad in the heat...is there something better? My daughter is rehanging a headliner on the ceiling of her car and seems to not want to use the 3M stuff...also the material is fairly thin and it shouldnt bleed thru.
How often should I replace a face mask used while spraying 3M Super 77 glue in a booth? After I trashed my first pair of transition lens glasses, I decided to start wearing a mask and protective glasses (over my real glasses) when I'm working at the spray booth on the job. I found that my throat and nose felt congested after spraying lots of paper to foam boards, which also led me to start protecting myself beyond just trusting the filters at our spraybooths to protect my lungs/eyes. Does anyone know how long I can use one cotton & elastic band type of mask before I should replace it? Crap. My coworkers already think I'm paranoid for using the cotton mask. How can I tell if the spray booths are properly ventilated?
What type of glue should I use to patch a waterproof car cover? I have some Budge blue water proof car covers. They get ripped fairly easily and I have some of the same material to patch them with. I have tried using 3M spray adhesive which is used on automotive applications (moldings, headliners, etc). I used heavy strength and light. I am thinking about trying gorilla glue next. they make gorilla glue for non-wood applications. duct tape will not work silicone is not glue and will not work
What is the best glue/adhesive for attaching race numbers? I've heard of (and occasionally seen) riders gluing their race numbers onto their jersey instead of pinning them. I'm doing a TT soon and want to give this a try. What kind of glue is used and/or what is the best kind to use? I did a quick internet search and came up with 3M's "spray mount" product. Does this work well? Anyone have experience using this? Thanks!
cabinet refacer messed up my cabinets, what do I do? I've put a lot of time and effort into my kitchen, but I was spent and out of time, so I decided to get an experience cabinet refacer to do my cabinets. It was a pretty straight forward job, "oak cabinets in good condition need experienced cabinet refacer to install new alder veneer." I would supply the veneer, the 3M-90 glue and the money. I found a cabinet refacer on Craigslist. He sounded experienced and confident in his abilities. Well now I'm stuck with a crappy job and I'm out $200. I noticed, as he was laying the veneer on the fronts, that he wasn't taking the time to sand the old surface. He would spray the glue on the cabinets then on the veneer and wait about 3 minutes before applying. The underside of the cabinets is terrible. The veneer is starting to bubble and pull away from the cabinet. I'm at a loss here. Do I have to yank all this out and start over or is any of this repairable? any other tips would be great

my 94 cad.deville faux soft top is deteriorating. Can I remove it and will it be painted beneath? 94 deville has a cloth top that is coming loose ,badly. I have lifted the cloth and used 3m spray adhesive but it won't hold .Would like to just plain remove the cloth,however am afraid of what I'll find beneath. I know I'll probably have to have roof painted. Pretty soon cloth will rip of by its self. Rest of car is very nice. Any ideas? and how would I remove the factory contact glue around the edges?
Which is a better spray adhesive? I need to glue together a ream of paper. After that I need to cut a circle out in the middle. Should I use 3M 77 or the photo mount kind?
Motorcycle hand grip glue? Has anyone used 3M High strength 90 spray adhesive for installing motorcycle hand grips? i've used it for putting carpet on wood and it seens rather strong. any ideas? Thanks.
Boat carpet seam joining? I recently had boat carpet installed, and done well. However, the dimensions the new boat jump seats(rear seats) I ordered did not come close enough to advertised length when assembled. I added on 2 1/2 inches of extra carpet length to ensure the carpet went under the seats. However, due to the seats being smaller than expected and were not assembled by then, one seat fell short of having carpet under it and another barely had enough under it. So in short, I am asking what is the best method to reduce or eliminate the appearance of a seam. Do you precut the extra piece with about 2 inches extra overlaping the previous edge, put the glue on the uncarpeted area, put the cut piece down, then cut at a 45 degree angle slightly over previous edge of the carpet to both edges? I know I will need 3M Blue 72 spray adhesive for this and I have enough spare carpet to get it done myself.
What's the best adhesive to use for memorabilia? O.K. I know I shouldn't glue but sleeve it, however I'm am putting back together a scrapbook (that was glued) for an old organization with limited funds. Mostly it's comprised of news articles & photos of their old days. Personally I have used rubber cement for my recipe cards and found that it dried up and came apart. I've considered spray adhesive, but that could be alot of inhaling (yuk!), and I'm down to (possibly) regular white glue or good old 3M Magic Tape. What do you artists use to attach to mat boards? And how about you scrapbookers? Any collectors with suggestions? My goal is to get it together, KEEP it together, but considering the aging--and will age more--papers. Also the least damage in the long run. Thanks everyone! Oh that Herma Dotto looks like my typing correction tape, but it's 2-sided tape?! Yeah, I really didn't want to use any liquid type glue if I didn't have to.
