Adhesives Help Keep Things Together




While glues can't mend a broken heart, they'll fix just about anything else and can save a situation that's going from bad to worse.
Adhesives are available for many specialized purposes. Here's what you'll want to add to your collection of RV tools:
  • "Super" glue for high strength repairs.
  • Vinyl adhesive for fixing tears in same-named fabrics.
  • Threadlocker glue to prevent screws and bolts from vibrating loose.
  • Multi-purpose adhesive for re-affixing door seals, loose trim and molding, and re-sticking peeling decals.
  • Silicon sealant to keep the rain from creeping in.
  • Seam sealer (for tents), for keeping the dew on the outside.
Another "sticky" item that can spare you from disaster is a small set of adhesive-backed hook-and-loop tabs. And don't forget that universal fix-it that's good for practically any repair: Duct Tape!
