Sticky Situation!

[CaPt Nimda]

Hey guys, I finally got around to replacing my front grille for my CB7. I got a brand new Honda "H" Emblem with the grille and it has the little adhesive patch on the back of it.. and it doesn't seem like it's going to stay on there very well... I'm not sure what to do?? That little "H" costed me $25 so I don't feel like driving down the highway and watching it fly off because it didn't stick so well. I was wondering if you might suggest any kind of glue or something to make sure that sucker isn't going anywhere. Thanks!

try using "GORILLA GLUE". that shit works awesome. u can find it at a local part store, AUTOZONE, CHECKERS(i think kragen for some other states its called) but yeah it works great. if not try and look at some hobby stores.

gorilla glue is what i used...works wonders, but don't use much it expands and foams up. if you use too much you will have a mess on your hands

The only place I could find the emblem was through the Honda dealer. I tried looking through the junkyard for one but that was a failed trip. So unfortunately.. yea.. I had to spend $25 on that stupid H. If something ever goes wrong again please let me know where I could find one for cheap.

gorilla glue will hold it till the end of time, but it foams up and expands a lot... so dont use a lot, and clamp it in to make sure it doesnt lift off of the grille at all before it hardens.

may also want to try epoxy or JB weld, both are very strong (both are the same... lol)

The gorilla glue sounds like it should work great. What should I do to keep it held tight together?? It's not like I can rest a heavy book on it or something, heh

Clamp it with a bar clamp ( kind of like a vise but has rubber ends and you hold it like a gun). Just squeze the trigger until it is tight and let the glue set up.

you can use a c-clamp. visegrips. and lil small clamp you can get ahold of really

Alright I am finished putting the gorilla glue on my grille. I didn't take the grille off or anything so I just dripped it on there and spread it around with a paper towel.

Like the bottle said, and most of you guys, I didn't use too much. So I used a vice grip to hold it on there. The hood is up obviously since I can't close it with the vice grip on there so it should be good by the time I get up for work in the morning. Thanks again for the advice, I'll give everyone a heads up to see if it worked or if it failed.

Good Luck On That

Hey guys, the gorilla glue worked great. That emblem is not going anywhere now!

That adhesive patch though was so bad, it's a good thing I glued that on there when I did because one more huge bump and that thing could have went flying. Thanks again!

[Drizzt DoUrden]

thanks for the idea i want to replace my grille soon lol

another project to pay for geez im to broke for this sh!t man

[CaPt Nimda]

Yea man, my grille was so terrible looking that I couldn't do anything but replace it. Gorilla glue is the way to go. Dudes ^ knew what they were talking about!

[roostaccord91]

and the gorilla comes thru again. WOOHOO!!!

yeah i first found out bout that when i had to put my neons on under my car. they say the wont bend but after awhile they were hangin low and scrapin on speed bumps. so i found that gorilla glue and glued them to my car. worked great. until i bottomed out and the sides one broke.

since then. gorilla glue is the shiznit!!! glad it worked for you too.
