Summary

3M’s Black Super Weatherstrip and Gasket Adhesive will work wonders for bonding rubbers and metals. It is extremely strong, durable, flexible, and convenient at the same time.

This adhesive comes in a small tube that allows for easy and smooth application. You don’t need any additional brushes, and you can spread the glue with just the tip of the tube. This will save you quite a lot of time and effort.

If you need an adhesive that is very durable, this is an excellent choice. It is actually waterproof and not just water-resistant. Also, it is a so-called “weather stripping” adhesive which means that it can withstand almost any weather. Temperature changes, rain, snow, fire, or oil should not interfere with the effectiveness of the adhesive. It can also resist vibration in times of earthquakes or similar occurrences.

One thing you should keep in mind that this might make a bit of a mess. Try to be careful when squeezing the contents out of the tube. If you use too much pressure or do it too rapidly, it might explode and you’ll have glue everywhere. Be gentle so that you may also have pinpoint accuracy in your application.
