Isopon Filler

[gman76]

I just wondered if anyone has used Isopon P40 as an adhesive?

I have just bought a Honda Civic & the plastic trim over the arches has some broken clips leaving it looking a bit uneven & scrappy.

I bought some dedicated spoiler adhesive, but the cure time is well over 24 hours (I need to use the car more often).

I know that P40 is not the easiest stuff to use, but it cures very rapidly.

Any thoughts or other suggestions?

TIA

Why not buy new clips?

Because the actual trim is broken where the clips attach.

Filler sticks like hell to anything so I guess it would do what you want.....you'd have to move smartish though to get it into place before it starts to go off! You'd need a fair quantity too.
An easier product could be a seam sealer or even silicone if you could tape it in place, but I don't know the curing time.

Excellent product, it will work as long as the trim has a rough enough finish to grip.

Cheers guys, I'll give it a whirl.

A lot depends on the grade of plastic. If the trim is ABS (quite hard) and the surfaces are roughed-up, it might work. If they're polyethylene or polypropylene (bendier and worse surface finish than ABS) , it's not likely work for long.

I'm sure I used to use that about 50 years ago
