Tiger seal question again

I'm gonna tiger seal the vortex spoiler to the Scooby how do I apply it ( to the edges and is there anywhere else needs it applying to and roughly how much

There was a guy on Scoobynet who put a vortex generator on with tiger seal and the wind snapped it in half, just saying. I heard the best stuff to use was the type of adhesive you put windscreens in with.

That sounds a bit surprising considering how much contact area you've got with that plastic - the whole width of the roof and 3-4" deep I'm guessing. Saying that he could have left enough of a gap and been sparing enough for the wind to get in there. The biggest problem Ive had with Tiger seal is wiping up the excess and I was only using it to reinforce another attachment configuration on a spoiler.

Good luck either way Andy.

Iv prepped the vortex by cleaning it with white vinegar I will do the same with the roof of the car to remove wax/polish and dirt, then I'm gonna use the sealant all around te spoiler just inside of the edges with a good amount of the sealant and also a good amount between the fins. Then use white vinegar again to remove any mess made. That will do the trick.

You might be alright actually Andy, it was double sided bodyshop tape that this lad used on his spoiler, not tiger seal as I previously thought. Ended up looking like this lol



I think the tape must get wet from the rain and become un-sticky after a while.
Tiger seal should be ok though after it's had a good chance to set.

Mine stuck on with trusty volvo black silicone from work, sticks anything to anything! Haha  it's still on after 18 months so you should be ok.

I weighted it down with bricks between the fins while it set. Obviously put rags between brick and vortex generator

Well it's on and I've been out in the car didn't dare go over 60mph in case the tiger seal has set right but all is good

Live life on the edge and do 70 tomorrow Andy.. I double dare you!

I'm a slow careful driver me Nick lol

Lol

I took the dare nick but only managed 61.5mph hehehe no I took it to about 75mph naughty of me lol all is well

the boot spoiler was stuck with tiger seal on my black classic and that could handle well over 140~+

any pics Andy?
