Cowl adhesive

[SweeperForce]

Hello,
I need to re-attach the insulation on the inside of my cowl. My biggest concern is heat. I don't want to use something that will let go in temps of 150? to 200?F. My motor is an 1989 so whatever is on the market today is more than likely better than the 'glue' they used then. I guess the qurstion is will waterproof silicone work.The tube says service temp:-60?to400?F.
Can I trust this stuff or use something better/stonger?

Thanks,
Tom

Re: Cowl adhesive

I used the same clear sillycone that you get at home depot.Made by GE???
Make sure it's the good stuff.
I precut all the pieces. Made sure that they fit good.
Then quickly smeared silicone on the piece of insulation.
Make sure the edges are coated real good.
Thats where it starts to peel first.
Then start putting them in.Work fast so it doen't set up to quick.
The inside of the cowl.Make sure it's clean and use soap/water to make sure the surface is CLEAN!!!
Maybe a piece of sand paper to give it something to stick too.Wipe it with alcohol?
Make sure it doesn't stick too far out or it's gonna come off the first time you put the hood back on.
I've seen a guy put a BIG baloon in the cowl after it was installed and blew it up to make the insulation fit better???
Said it was a kids toy,seemed to work??/
