Interesting idea, especially the recent posts about 3m77 pulling loose in some cases.
(FWIW) Not long ago I had occasion to talk with 3M tech support about a similar problem. (Note: they are very helpful, and knowledgeable about their adhesive products.) 3M tech support told me that 3M77 adhesive will not reliably withstand high temperatures. Even though they state a maximum temp of 180oF, it will begin to soften below that temperature. I ignored the warning, and used it anyway. Our use was to adhere white duck tape to a black polypropylene cloth surface which is continuously exposed to full weather and sunlight. We hypothesized that the white tape surface would keep the temperature low enough to avoid problems. Unfortunately, this was not the case, and the tape has pulled loose in many places. 3M recommended Scotch-Weld™ Neoprene High Performance Contact Adhesive 1357, which has a maximum working temperature of 230oF. It costs more than the contact cements that others in this thread have used, but it might be worth the extra expense. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hexayurt" group.
