 |
|
I'm trying to re-glue a thin rubber floor mat.
Any suggestions on a glue?
An alternative would be to attach velcro to the mat & floor, allowing
for easier access, but it often seems that velcro holds better than
the glue it is attached with. Grit does get down there and needs to
be vacuumed out from time to time.
Just the way I sit in the HDS, I put a lot of pressure on the mat at
my heels, any time I move in the seat, pushing the floor mat into the
pedals unless the mat is well secured.

A product I've used repeatedly, with excellent results, for the last 20 years
or so, is Duraseam aircraft trim cement. Airtex,
http://www.airtexinteriors.com/ sells it. It was $12 per pint, the last time I
checked.

I believe you could use Velcro dots for the thin rubber mat. I put thin
soundproofing down that way and then a thin carpet on top of that. The
carpet just meets the
Surface of the heel plate channel and works well in my HDS.

The best adheasive I have found is "Weldwood contact cement". It even holds in the heat of the desert where all others fail.
Use according to the directions on the can. Both surfaces must be dry before you put it in place. They have been glueing counter tops down with it for many years. The only problem with it is when it makes contact with the surface you are glueing to, it can't be moved, cuz it it's stuck tight!

Some cars have a hook near the front of the driver seat where the carpet hooks on to, thus preventing the carpet from sliding forward.Actually, the hook is more like a short cylinder, say 15 mm diameter, 5 mm high, and the carpet has a circular, reinforced hole that matches the cylinder.

Ron:
WHY would you want to GLUE the mat in place? ! ! !
What happens when you get it wet and want to pull it out to dry.
What happens when you spill your coffee all over the mat?
What happens when you take up a friend for a flight and they UP-CHUCK all over it?
What happens when you wear out the mat and want to replace it?
I know what happens - You curse like a sailor trying to remove the mat and the glue.
Why not use Heavy Duty PLASTIC Velcro - We use it hear at work and it is awesome!
The trick is:
CLEAN the area well - MEK - Acetone - Alcohol
Install it and DO NOT use it for 24 to 48 Hours. The adhesive takes a while to take set.
Use two pieces at each corner forming a ' L'. This holds in both the X & Y axis.
You then can Roll - Loop - And CLEAN very easy.

Hi,
An alternative to carpet for the heel plate channel is 6 in. wide
stainless steel tape. This is a very thin self-adhesive tape.
The weight is next to nothing.
The tape is almost indestructible, and heels cannot possibly do damage.
Aft of the channel is a nonflammable carpet without glue
or attachment. The carpet cannot move since it is
held in place by the channel and spar.
BTW, I have found the stainless steel tape to be useful in other spots,
for example, for shielding rubber hoses near exhaust pipes.
Happy flying,
Klaus[url=http://www.utdallas.edu/%7Eklaus][/url]

Thin Stainless sheeting is a pretty good conductor of heat, so it would not protect rubber hoses very well if it was in contact or very close.That's why it is recommended to use thermal-insulated hose covers where heat may cause problemsCheers T87

I have used it with very good results. But of course thermal insulted hose covers are the
standard approach.

Thanks for the ideas.
I may go with velcro, as I've never liked the idea of gluing the mat
down too permanently.
