Congratulations, Ed. I knew I should have tried harder to pry the white 928 out of hands. Winning something like this will help its value. Exterior and interior PPI verification by a team of experts!!

FWIW, when I did this I took the hood off. It makes things much easier IMHO. I use 3M adhesive remover and a plastic putty knife to gently scrape off the old glue residue. Then, I used regular ol' contact cement that you can get for $5-$8 at home depot for a quart. Then using a disposable 3" roller, I buttered both the hood and the new hood pad. Carefully align and stick. Voila! That SOB is never coming down.

160F temp resistance on the adhesive doesn't seem high enough.

Hey Rog,

Yes, it was a great job you did, indeed!
The insulation replacement was one of the things, btw, I was going to tackle myself, but whan you mentioned it again, I thought 'have at it!'
I proudly opened her hood when asked to display her recently, too! No more 'heartbreak of crumbling insulation!'

I think you enjoy shooting RSKY BIZ almost as much as I do!
What part of this shark hasn't been in pics on Renn???

Thanks again for your help...

I simply went to the carwash and power sprayed mine off in about 10 minutes. Came right off, down to where your's did. Then used the soap brush, and a regular brush, scrubed the intake and valve covers and sprayed the engine clean while I was there. Took another 10 minutes.

All in all, a total hood insulation/engine cleaning in 20 minutes. Not bad and alot less time/irritation consuming..................

Todd,
With all due respect, I would not recommend using any type of power sprayer directly on the engine of these cars.

Bill,
I used the 3M 90 type and you are right its not good enough... at least not for Phoenix in the summer time -combined sun from above & engine heat from below is enough to loosen the pad at least in some places - it hasn't fallen off but its not right...

I'm looking for the real deal that laughs at 250 degrees F!

x2 Alan's post above.

Did mine, re-installed the hood this past weekend, by Saturday afternoon it was drooping. Gotta find high-temp adhesive!

What does Rob Budd recommend for his liners?

Big Dave

I'm pretty sure he uses the 3M spray adhesive. My new "Budd" liner is still firmly in place.

Ed Hughes

Guys, per my post earlier, 3M makes a high temp automotive contact adhesive as well. It's the stuff for such an application...

Alan

Ed,
As far as I know the #90 is the high temp stuff referred to here and it doesn't work well enough - at least not on the face of the sun here in Phoenix...

Are you aware of a better version?

Alan

Bill Ball

I have a hood with a liner that is in like new condition but it is drooping in the center. I was planning to cut a slit into it and try to tack down the dropping area. Needs some better glue than #90 it appears.

Perusing the 3M website leads to the following link, which is an 8 page pdf listing different spray adhesives, with nice tables of applications and temp resistance

Dunno what the best product is for our application? Looks like either #76 or #80 would be best for high temp application, but they won't sell you #76 in California.......

I wonder what Porsche used? Mine is still nicely attached 17 years later, it's just oil soaked and disintegrating.

WURTH makes a hi temp contact adhesive the WILL NOT come loose. And once the surfaces touch....don't even think you'll be able to pull it off and reposition. Not a one person job. You only get one chance. It's not cheap though. WURTH makes a lot of good stuff.
