I found a Gorilla seller in Holland, so I ordered one of 60ml.

http://www.asterics.nl/products/15/Gori ... 60_ml.html

Just to test it.

And which one of the RTV in the following link is the right one.

You say RED, but it seems to be all SILICONE, is that right?

Permatex has been around for a long time...RTV is a little different from silicone...it has a different molecular structure...the Red is the most durable formula...stays flexible ...but bonds very well :D

Good Luck Darkas

Use the RTV that is used for putting in car windows -not the sealer the adheasive (you'll love this stuff once you use it, if I was on a deserted island this would be my choice), decontaminate surfaces -use MAF cleaner. MAF cleaner is like contact/brake cleaner BUT won't harm plastics AND cost about 80% more though, but will last awhile if used for only modeling.

You'd either use 3M adhesive roll or the liquid version of it. The older cars use the roll and newer ones the liquid stuff. The liquid stuff takes a special gun to apply it with similar to a claulking gun but it's smaller. Also you need to heat the liquid up in a special little tube heater or you'll never get it to flow. I worked for about a year for a place that that's all we did was install windshields in cars.

I would have used the Goop stuff myself as its designed to bond rubber to metal. In fact it's what we used when we had weather stripping to replace on a car. But best of luck either way.

Are you using the mato metal tracks? On mine I cleaned the tracks up, roughened up the back of back rubber pad then used a paint brush to apply 2 post epoxy (araldite) to each individual track link in the groove, slid the pad in then put a drop of super glue in each of the holes on the back of the track link, the araldite takes ages to set fully and basically I had glue each rubber pad 3 times, it took ages! But 99% of the pads have stayed in place ( could of just been the ones that came off I did not glue / clean/ roughen up properly) I have run my 2a6 for about 30-40 hours in all sorts ( even submerged) and they have pretty much stayed in accept for about 3 out of 320 odd, hope this is of some help :-)

After experiences (not good) with other Gorilla brand products......I don't touch Gorilla anything lol...other brands are just as good...and a lot cheaper because they don't have that Gorilla stamped on the label ;)
But "Stick" with what works...I do ;)
