Canada glue

Hey guys what glues are you using to glue the gutter guard in the bumper and grills.
I tried some jb epoxy and it isn'tworking like I'd hoped. then some polyurethane glue from home depot. taking forever to dry and I don't think it will work. just making a big mess.

I have to fix the top part of the grill because of the way it was sitting while it was drying for a day and I am trying to glue something in the lower hole

help me please because I don't want to drill holes and use ties but if I can't get something to work I will have to bause the condensor is getting smashed by rocks and is starting to look crappy
thanks in advance,Chris.

I used J B Weld and it worked fine. If you are doing it in a cold garage, that stuff isn't as easy to work with. As far as the top part sagging like it did, it happened to me too. I took it apart and made a template to keep it from sagging. When you do it again use some weight to hold the mesh down, like some large sockets or something like that. I just got my lower grille done and it looks great! The grille is black with big white COBALT letters. I'll post pics when I find my camera.

are you talking about the lower opening where your rads are? because if you get under there and have a look there is 6 pushpins, 2 large on top, and 4 small on the bottom.....
that will hold your DIY lower grille perfectly if you design it to have small tabs where the pushpins are.

Im assuming you must be talking about the upper grille though? cuz i cant imagine glueing something permanantly when you can attach it so easily with what is already there for you.
