The other item now on hand is a large rattle can of Gorilla Splay Adhesive.I have been debating this for quite some time.

Originally, the cork gasket used to seal the Aerial Base C2 to an Aerial Chimney on the top of a wireless vehicle, was simply tied to the brown, phenolic base plate of the Aerial Base C2 through. pair of the eight perimeter mounting holes. Easy enough to do, but with no real plans to actually mount this Aerial Base C2 to a vehicle, the risk of accidentally damaging the cork gasket I made is very real if it is all just sitting around. Gluing the gasket to the base plate came to mind early on and I had considered using rubber cement. However, over extended periods of time applied to hard surfaces, rubber cement has a tendency to degrade and fail, so I shred away from using it.

When looking as possible spray glues I quickly found it to be a very complex product, with a major focus on construction uses and a smaller hobby/craft market. The key difference between these two groups seems to be that the hobby/craft group prefers a spray glue product that allows a period of adjustment for the pieces you want to glue together. An opportunity to get things lined up correctly before it is too late and the glue has set. So that was the group of spray adhesive products I started to focus on. This Gorilla product got quite a few good comments for the ability to adjust ones work and get things right before it is too late, easy cleanup and fairly easy later removal, if needed.

It shows up at our local Home Hardware in half price sale this week and I scampered over to purchase a can first thing this morning. Good thing I did. There was only one can left.
