Living down in Florida with the heat and moisture, what is the best adhesive to use?

I am an auto body tech in a body shop and the double sided tape that comes on the emblems will be sufficient but if you need some I would go with 3m brand in the black

the logos come with the adhesive on them just make sure that you line it up correctly because once its on there it stays

I highly recommend the screws as the glue from the Veclro tape (included) gets soft and loses it sticky property in the hot sun. I also rent but will fill the holes with sparkle when I move out. Any type of adhesive will probably have the same effect if placed in a sunny window, otherwise the Velcro tape will work in a shady, cool window.

not sure, but i would 1sr scuff the area you will use for the tape and apply the tape during warm weather for best stick on

Go to HomeDepot. Go to where they sell Duct-tape. Get the aluminum tape for outdoor use. It looks shiny silver roll of tape. I get the one with the highest temperature outdoor tolerance. When you get back at your trailer, clean the surrounding area really well with some dishwashing soap and water. Dry it really well. Take some rubbing alcohol with some paper towel and wipe the area lightly. Don't need to rub it. This will make sure there are no greasy area left. Take the aluminum tape and cut a piece big enough to cover the hole. Take the backing paper off and apply it over the hole starting from one edge of the tape, pressing and rubbing the tape as you move slowly over the hole with the tape. Do not apply pressure over the hole with the tape just go around the hole. You don't want to puncture a hole through the tape over the drilled hole. After you are done, put a bead around the edge of the aluminum tape with the Dicor rubber sealant. This will prevent any moisture later on to be creeping under the aluminum tape. If you can see the hole inside the trailer, you can put some clear silicone caulking sealant in the hole and wipe it smoothly and level with the ceiling. Save the aluminum tape and sealants. You might need it in the future for any other roof repairs. I check and inspect my trailer roof every so often throughout the year especially before winter and before the rainy season for any possible leak potentials. I hope this helps. Happy camping!!

I use brothers label makers with their adhesive tape. No markers I've used reliably last through rain, and sun.

Loctite landscape construction adhesive is what we used. We bought it at Lowes and it has worked very well.

I have had the same problem with the adhesive weakening over time, particularly with temperature fluctuations. I ended up using a double-stick foam tape (3M) , for longer-term results.

The adhesive will give way under weather. There is a centered hole that you can screw or nail them into the siding That worked for me

Altman is spot-on. This stuff really isn't all that sticky. If you're taping something on the outside of the vehicle, forget this stuff (won't last). Inside - you might be okay, but be prepared to occasionally replace the tape. Also, as with any adhesive, there may be long-term damage to plastic surfaces if the conditions are just right. If you're in a place like Phoenix with high temps, the heat may cause a chemical reaction between the adhesive and the plastic surface it touches. Of course, that's if exposed for some time, and it doesn't happen over night. Use caution and good luck!

I am not exactly sure how this would hold up in the extreme heat. I used this on the floor board of my pickup truck, and when it's super hot in the summer months, it gets a little bit sticky feeling. This product is like rubber in a can. If you wouldn't put rubber near extreme heat, I wouldn't put this near it either.

Best installed with construction adheasive. It comes in a tube like caulk. Make sure it is the weatherproof type. I secured the cap with duct tape while the adheasive was drying. Also make sure the top of the post is dry and relatively smooth to assure a strong bond.

I wrap in electrical tape. Never had moisture issues shorting anything.......

As far as I know as long as you wipe the surface down with alcohol (where you will be placing the double sided tape) allowing it to dry I don't think the temperature will affect installation - the tape adheres well to any surface I have tried so far. The plastic is used to cover the interior side of windows; not outside of the window. I have also discovered it is best to place clear packing tape across the bottom part of plastic - on the underside of window sill - BEFORE shrinking with blow dryer. It helps to prevent plastic from pulling upward and eventually making it's way off window.

We're using this in a hot environment in the California desert, but we did not use any kind of glue. We just have it pinned down in the ground. If you're planning on gluing it on, you might have to find a strong glue or liquid nail to protect it from the sun/heat.

I think double sided tape would work, I bought some but haven't gotten around to applying it.

I live in Florida -am concerned about the high humidity most of the year and the effect this will have on the product.

Don't use this stuff. I used it and it never really dried. It stayed sticky for for 2 months. Try elmers epoxy.
