Locktite Black Contact Adhesive
P/N30540
Directions: 1/Clean surfaces thoroughly. Use abrasives to remove any powdery mold release from new materials. 2/ Apply a thin, even film to both surfaces. Allow to dry. 3/ Apply a second thin coat of adhesive to sections of materials not over 3 feet long. 4/ Bond immediately. Avoid putting adhesive on exposed painted surfaces.
(this came with my p/t seal from Go Westy) works great.
