glue to rebond rubber tailskid to LS6

The 3M heavy duty double sided tape works great. Not the white stuff, the black stuff. It's great for tail skids, wing tip skids, and even that 5 dollar Home Depot wing tip wheel I use to aid an unassisted take off from a paved strip.

Kirk, give Paul Gaines a call at composite solutions. He gave me some 3M product that cured with humidity, stayed flexible, sticks to anything, fills in gaps and is some other the strongest stuff Ive used.

It does stick to anything aggressively and is strong & flexible. Buy only what you need because it cures in the tube after opening. Craig 7Q |

He had two different styles one was a quick cure, hours, the other took days, I used the days brand and it was so dry here in AZ that after two days it still was moving. At least until I covered it with wet cloths and wet the down every hour or so then it cured hard overnight😂

Wow - thanks for all the replies, guys; now I have something to work with.
I think CH's solution (3M 5200 marine adhesive) sounds the best to me, and in my southern IL climate it should have no trouble curing. I'll let you know how it turns out. Oh and Cliff, when do you expect to get that ASW-27? Too bad you couldn't have gotten Peter Van Camps 27B - that was a special one! Kirk 66 |

3M Marine Adhesive Sealant 5200 Fast Cure white or black, it's thicker than tooth paste.
Clean gelcoat, sand gelcoat with anything, 120 is good. Tape it off. Don't make a mess. 5200 likes to get everywhere. Let is cure for a full 24 hours. Permanent, not coming off, done. Forget all that other crazy crap. You rubber skid will still fold over during a ground loop thus preventing your skid from spiking and sending the tail assembly cartwheeling off into Mrs. Cravits rose bushes... I have a 45 year history with this stuff. Quote:
