A new world of adhesives for your car care needs

Stuck On You ... No, we're not talking about Lionel Richie's 1984 number one hit song here.

We're talking about adhesives.

And, they've come a long way since 1984.

Fast forward 20 something years, the difference in adhesives is like the difference between cooking with a campfire and a microwave.

Instead of a body shop having an inventory of two or three adhesives, most have an adhesive for each part, each area, and each compound they want to secure.

Today, it's very important to pick the right adhesive. There are adhesives for bonding, sealing and attaching automotive trim, weather-stripping, emblems, mirrors, gaskets, fabrics, carpeting, decals, moldings, metal, plastic and glass. Use the wrong one and, we promise, you'll end up doing it again.

There are extensive lines of adhesive products that meet the needs of the collision repair market, mechanical repair market and the glass replacement industry for bonding, protecting and sealing.

These same professional-quality maintenance and repair solutions are available to DIY'ers and auto enthusiasts, too, to quickly and safely handle numerous repair, replacement or refinishing projects and to help keep the interior and exterior of any car looking and running its best.

There are a broad and complete set of adhesive materials for numerous repair projects. Here are three popular types:

• Super Trim Adhesive -- a fast-acting aerosol contact adhesive, strong and resistant to heat, excellent for attaching vinyl, insulation, foam, padding and rubber parts to metal and other surfaces

• Super Weather-strip and Gasket Adhesive -- a fast drying, strong, flexible, rubbery adhesive, withstands vibration and extreme temperature variation

• General Trim Adhesive -- a clear, strong adhesive, fast drying, excellent for fabrics, upholstery, plastics, foam and carpets
