Tech Tip: 3M Weatherstrip Adhesive

We receive a lot of questions from customers about which adhesive we recommend. Our top pick is 3M Super Weatherstrip Adhesive! Designed specifically to bond rubber gaskets and weatherstripping to metal surfaces.

This flexible, high-strength adhesive helps ensure a tight waterproof seal. It cures fast and works right out of the tube, holding rubber weatherstripping in place and resisting heat, vibration, oils, and detergents.

3M Super Weatherstrip Adhesive is available in 2 oz and 5 oz tubes.

If your project requires gluing seals together, see 3M Weatherstrip Adhesive, designed to bond weatherstrip and seals to other rubber parts and specifically to EPDM rubber. Or, Loctite Super Bonder 495, a general purpose adhesive designed to bond rubber, metal and plastic parts.


Steele not only offers high-quality products, but also the knowledge to help you complete your projects. If you have questions regarding weatherstripping for your classic vehicle, street rod, RV, or boat, don’t hesitate to contact us!
