3M Plastic and Emblem Adhesive, 08061, 5 oz Tube

I bought this 3M Plastic and Emblem Adhesive to mount a brass doorknocker onto a metal door, and it worked really well for that purpose. The adhesive was easy to apply from the tube, and it gave me a strong, secure bond without needing to drill into the door. I was especially happy with how clean the application was. It held the brass piece firmly in place, and the finished result looks neat and professional. For a small project where I needed a dependable adhesive between metal surfaces, this did exactly what I needed. Overall, I’m very pleased with it and would recommend it for similar mounting or repair projects where you need a strong adhesive and want to avoid screws or extra hardware.

Used this to reinstall the stainless trim on a Toyota FJ60 Land Cruiser. Worked great, also used a very small paint brush to apply the adhesive to the backside of the trim and on the mating surfaces.

I used this to secure the I on my Genesis GV70 that was partially hanging off. I probably should have taken it to the dealer but I did not want to mess with that for such a little thing. I live in hot and humid, Houston, TX so I needed an adhesive that was waterproof, heat proof and would not damage my car. It’s “winter” here right now so I cannot say how well it works when it is hot. It did hold up in the car wash though! I am hoping it can withstand 100+ degree temperatures in the summer time! This adhesive is sticky enough for what I needed it for. Good price for the size tube you get. 3M normally makes great products so I have high hopes.

So far (about two months) in mixed weather from about 65 degrees to 100 plus, rain, shine, and everything in between, this adhesive is holding the plastic door handle "cleat" onto my wife's Kia. It was designed from the factory to friction fit onto a fluted stud "poking" out of the door handle assembly, but the thin brittle plastic broke around the cylinder designed to receive the stud. I cleaned all surfaces with denatured alcohol before starting the exercise. I first glued the cleat gasket to the painted metal door (more of friction/squeak-preventer than a gasket; feeling like slippery, but hard polyethylene). I then glued the electroplated chrome plastic (hard, brittle polystyrene, maybe) cleat to the "gasket" and taped the assembly in place overnight while the adhesive set up. The next day, all of the elastic-feel in the surface bonding was gone and the plastic was tight to the metal- very tight- no twist or movement whatsoever. It felt incredibly solid, and as I wrote, after two months- still incredibly solid. NOTE: I did not realize (deficient research) that the 8061 acted like a contact adhesive so you have to pre-coat both contact surfaces, stick them together, pull them apart, wait, then REALLY stick them together. It's clear in the manufacturer's instructions (the ones I did not read before purchase). This wasn't a problem for me, just make sure you follow the appropriate steps. I also hadn't realized, that the adhesive is thin, almost watery. It WILL run and is difficult to control if you intent to "pool" it. Except where applied very thinly, it seems to retain some of the gumminess, for a long time- maybe forever. Regardless- it has excellent holding power and considering the amount of surface areas in contact for my application, I am thus far impressed. 3M- you may be pricey, but my experience is that rarely is the extra money ill-spent.

works great in my falling off fender flares

Seems to work well.

Used for bmw emblem reattachment. Cleaned the sport where goes, Spread glue w a toothpick first to even it out and then put on car and still holding strong after a month inclusive of rainy days!

3M products are usually my go-to. This one's adhesive properties were not very impressive. Almost seems as if it froze at one time or sat for too long

Très bonne colle

Great Product and proven useful

Put rear car lens back in place. Still thete after 6 months

great adhesive

This works well however it is really runny. AND DO apply it then wait about 8-10 minutes then apply another thin layer before sticking the items together. It will dry rock hard.
