Dave--That is exactly what David did to make the mixture thin enough to use a brush to paint it on both sides. Then it would dry and be pressed together like contact cement.
What did you do to your E9 today?

I didn't do a damn thing to my E9 today. Instead I installed an anti-theft catalytic converter guard on my Toyota Tacoma. The truck is parked on the street, which makes it a good target, and we're going out of town tomorrow. Hopefully this rad looking guard will not only give me peace of mind but keep the cats attached to the truck.
Nice shield & tamper resistant fasteners.
Reproduction, glove box shaft
Found that I had neglected to purchase a few things to put the center console back together, so a few parts ordered.
I did install retractable seat belts that I purchased from @bluedevils, which will make the drive that much safer and more enjoyable. I also had the old seat belt "shelf/clip" removed when I had the headliner replaced.

Like everyday, I refreshed the UPS tracking page for my W&N ss exhaust - still in Koeln.

I ordered a pack from W and N couple weeks ago. It’s now sitting here in Vancouver waiting for me. W&N ships inexpensively one price. I think it’s just under €50
UPS will under duress give you the numbers you need to contact customs and pay for duty. Then you call UPS back with the clearance numbers and UPS will deliver your parcel to you for free
The process to bypass UPS is really quite simple and I think when they first contact you to ask for a broker number the broker number to use is 51. Which is self broker.
double check the number.
The hardest part is ignoring all those emails UPS sends you. How many other brokers send you 25 emails for one package. Misleading emails at that! There ought to be a law.
Steve, the one and only Stevehose! Just for fun, Make one of those calls to W and N and ask them to follow up on your package

I don’t like that at all. It’s crazy we have to protect our catalytic converter’s from thieves. I do actually love that cover though. Can we call it something like an arrow dynamic ( thank you, special check, I like it (arrow dynamic!) thing or bottom protection.
Oh…just let me get this out there on the record… I don’t do the Facebook likey and Smiley face thing.
I like it all

Kind of late to the discussion but I just wanted to remind of the use of heat in that kind of work. I’ve taken Sullivans and cut up little pieces of tool tray and melted them and use the slurry to repair the toolboxes.
It’s easier to just use the latest glues glues. It seems it seems like there’s a new development every week. Yes I know they only release them to us peasants two years after they make them but still
Off to VSR with a laundry list of prep for The Vintage from basic maintenance to upgrades!
New power window motors, new 75A alternator, a little clean up of the engine bay, etc

They are perhaps a marginal improvement to Stan’s mid 73 motors.
Except for the right side were it went inoperative on the way home from LOTA
Circuit breaker activated? Check wires behind kick panel where there is a plug.
checked those.
Also swapper a know good switch
Now connect the shield to the car battery.
A big surprise to the guy with the Sawzall !
Yes, all of the fasteners were tamper-resitant torx bolts, but one that was a 6mm hex key. The shield came with the driver for the torx. I'd never used tamper-resistant ones. Worked really well. I think the one hex key was because they couldn't get a long enough bolt with the torx head. It was several inches long.

Checked my Pirelli CN36 tire pressure, then increased that, per advice from this forum. Thanks all who chimed in. Checked my other 3 cars and topped off as needed.
