mesh question????

[herb]

just wandering what is the best way to secure mesh to a plastic grille???
when i did it before i used p40 but on this grille there isnt as much mesh tucked around the grille if you can get what im saying so im thinking tiger seal is this best or is there another product that would be more suited to the job???

One of the Sikaflex products will do it, very good stuff, used it in the marine business.

well i had a moment of clarity while looking at what i had

and the look i wanted the bottom grill

and i realized that the lower grill was totally removed and the mesh was attached to the actual bumper so i will be using p40 to attach the mesh now but thanks for the suggestion stamford

Will P40 be flexible enough? I know certain specs of Sikaflex are very flexible. The one I used was for spherical rudder bearing assemblies, felt solid but had a fair bit of compliance once baked. Some grades will cure but stay flexible and not crack. They use this stuff on the deck boards on yachts and cruisers.

Thanks for that tip, I was just starting to think about how to affix the mesh. Another small box ticked

Absolutely, but don't let it go to your head
