Sticking Metal Letters onto GRP

[tim griffin]

Anyone know what they use to stick metal letters onto GRP and where I can get some?
The V of my V40 has come unstuck looks like it was stuck on with some clear two sided rubbery tape.

It'd probably be easier to remove the rest of them and leave it or bend over and buy some new ones from a dealer, if you go for the second route pm first.

I love Sikaflex. . . . Sticks everything including fingers

If you want something a little less permanent then use bathroom silicon sealant.

Be sure to degrease everything thoroughly

Sounds a bit like those sticky pads used for sticking rearview mirrors to your car windscreen, my experience of those (the good quality ones at least) are that they stick like s**t to a blanket.

There are various double sided tapes available, one I use often which is thin and quite tough is tape on a roll commonly used for sticking number plates onto vehicles. Mine comes from a motor factors. If you just need a short length for sticking the V back into place, PM me your address and I'l put a bit into an envelope and post it to you.
However, a dod of Evostik will likely do fine.

If you go down the glue/sealant route put masking tape on to it doesn't slide down when you turn your back.

i can't see why but a cheese wire does the job and acetone will clean the remains, double sided tape will do the job but not for long, the foam bit isn't uv stable and it goes hard

Use CT1 sealant/glue (google it), it's UV resitant unlike silicon and wont drop off.

we use this stuff to stick our external signs to club house, been up since May in all conditions.

Manmouth Tape - made by everbuild

it's re-enforced double sided tape, non-repostional!

Sticky fixers for number plates

Pop down to a company that does plastic signs we use a local one here that do a lot of our "danger electricity" etc, they use a heavy duty double sided backing that has been washed with caustic and heated and cooled and are still in place. Tell them the application though as there a different types for different things.
