In Response To: Material: Glue for Becksom hatches??? (Gennie)

: Hi!

: My Iggy is taking in water :( , and when I pulled a bit on my aft hatch, it
: popped out. Its a poly...... version. Can anyone recomend a glue, or
: should I just order a ABS one instead? And what will be the BEST glue for
: the new one?

Hi Gennie,
Have you thought of using a filler/glue called Tiger Seal? It seems to stick anything to anything, sometimes more permanently than necessary. I've seen it used to fit car windscreens and the only way to remove the glass afterwards is either cutting the seal or breaking the glass.

It comes in a multitude of colours as long as you like grey. :D
