I've got a T6.1 which is ply-lined and four years ago I stuck down some carpet lining. It's now looking really tatty and, as it's really just a van (rather than a camper) I'm now thinking some rubber on the floor might be better.
I'd be grateful for anyone's recommendations and also some...
Hi
I’m after some advice please
Had my T5.1 for around 6 years now and it had a tailgate spoiler fitted when I bought it.
Unfortunately it blew off in the storm a few weeks ago , didn’t realise it was loose and luckily the van was parked up at the time.
It looks like it was fastened with 3M...
Might be a daft question but regarding installation
Do you key the surface prior to bonding or just bond both shiny surfaces together
It’ll never been seen under the spoiler anyway but just wondering prior to installing
Just wondering how well it takes on bonding two painted surfaces together...
I had a conversion company attach my Leighton vans front spoiler and splitter to my van - after a few months it started to come away from the van, and then got to the stage where I just had to remove it completely. It appears to have been stuck on using a PU adhesive of some sort……maybe Sikaflex...
Hi all. I'm taking tentative steps into powering my internal lights etc with a battery pack. I'd like to install a solar panel on my pop-top.
What kind of fixings should I used to attch the panel to the Reimo pop-top (fibreglass) roof?
The panel has 6 fixing points. Should I bond it down too...
The problem - a year after getting my ex British Gas van, dark patches became noticeable on the paintwork, mainly on the leading faces of the vehicle. On examination, there was still some residue from the vinyl wrap that was collecting (I assume) vehicle particulates. Only became noticeable...
So bear with me.
Been looking at getting this (btw, any thoughts on how good these ones are where the wires are discreetly positioned under the back of the panel?): Solar Technology – 150 Watt Flexi Solar Panel – Black Rear Exit – STPVF150RBS - Batteries and Solar
...And after watching people...
After reading a few threads mentioning the hassle of removing carpet adhesive and folk using all sorts invluding brake fluid i was forced to raid the garage chemicals for same.
Gave some WD40 Contact cleaner a go and found it works a treat, best of all the fumes aren't too bad and it dries...
Hi all,
Fitted barn door rear spoilers several months ago now. The bond has been strong for most of that time but noticed today that the spoilers have both come loose.
I used Sikaflex 221 and followed all instructions. Is it common for Sikaflex to fail in such a short time? Not...
Hello.
I’m investigating which type of Sikaflex I should use to bond the aero panels upon which I’ll fix my 325W rigid solar panel.
I purchased two sets of the black aero panels from Batteries and Solar
The panel is large, 1m x 1.7m so I want to make sure there’s no chance of it coming off
I...

I'm looking to bond EPDM rubber to metal.
Have tried 2 part Epoxy resin, that was so poor it should be renamed as Poxy resin.
Small area, approx 100mm x 150mm
Internal, dry use / application
Anybody any ideas, suggestions or experience please?
Can anyone recommend anything better than Sika 252, fitting my Thule Omnistor tomorrow and it sad to use this stuff but reading up on the forum it isn’t recommended!
Hi,
Sikaflex is widely raved about for conversions, but has anyone here used it for other applications? In particular, my previous efforts at sealing around the edge of our bath with the best “conventional” sealant I could find have failed miserably after a pretty short time. Would it work...
Morning all,
I am currently making use of my time at home by embarking on the sound deadening and insulation journey.
So far all is going well and the panels have come off to leave no unexpected issues.
I have noticed however that the roof has come away from all of the cross beams of the...
Having a crisis of confidence!
which of the many Sikaflex/Sikabond adhesive/sealants do folk recommend for sticking the batons to the metal floor before fixing new plywood floor?
cheers Mark
