Gravity? Shitty adhesives back then.

 

[J!m]

It’s still stuck!

just creeping down s l o w l y. . .

I heard of one guy using 3M auto emblem adhesive. I’ve got some out in the garage.

When I tear it down again to rebuild, I’ll deal with that emblem too.

Lordy, that sucks.

JB Weld bro

 

[J!m]

It just has to hold in place, not withstand an ICBM.

That said, plan B: JBWeld.

 

[WOPL Sniffer]

Now wouldn't you be pleased when N Korea nuked us that your plinth (at least the JB'd part) and the label survived????

 

[J!m]

Good point…

JB weld is pretty tough stuff too, would be a bitch to get off later... must be a slightly more mild solution...

Super Glue, Gorilla Glue or LocTite Red.

Super Glue, Gorilla Glue or LocTite Red.

Heck I was thinking tube and tile silicone with some tape till it cures. You could remove it with a hair dryer and leave no damage but my fug it won’t come off till you want it too...

Go by a auto body shop. Ask from few inches of 3m double sided tape. Comes in various widths and thickness

 

[J!m]

I have two widths of the 3M tape in the garage.

That’s what I’m going to use.

 

[Gepetto]

Buy the 3M VHB tape. VHB stands for very high bond, and it is. It is printed on the roll that Glen posted a graphic of.

 

[J!m]

Pretty sure that’s what I have.

I use it to hold the gurney strip to my wing on the BMW.

Original was narrow, using two strips. And I bought wider to replace it since it rips off eventually… haven’t bothered Re-sticking it because the car needs clear (at least)…

Super Glue, Gorilla Glue or LocTite Red.

LocTite is an anaerobic agent that hardens in the absence of air and presence of metal ions.

It's not glue !

Knew that...threw it in there for effect or just because I was on a roll.

That may have been standard back in the day, and that track looks like it may be that old. At least, it gets little traffic. Here's how it's done nowadays:
