ebinmaine 67,569 #1 Posted July 21 We've been using clear silicone for years. Usually works OK. We've had two fail over that time. What's a good alternative chemical? @rmaynard ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PWL216 889 #4 Posted July 21 (edited) Goop all-purpose. You’ll need about 1/2 oz. Edited July 21 by PWL216 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Having said that, some are reporting to me that original Gorilla glue (urethane glue) works well, but requires dampening the surface and clamping well (Gorilla glue expands as it cures). You might want to contact Brian Badman @76c12091520h and see what he uses to assemble his complete brake bands. Edited July 22 by rmaynard 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
