Re: Glue Test in Cold Weather



That was one of my concerns - a glue that would work so well that the
magnet or contact would become "one" with the window and I would have
to tear up the window to replace the magnet/contact.  But I wanted a
glue that would stick well enough that you would not be afraid to place
a contact on the botton of the window.  Didn't want water to enter the
contact area and drip down into wall and insulation.

So far I have been pretty impressed with Goop and RTV.  I have used
Silicon for other projects, but lately the temps here in Peyton
Colorado (7,300') have been rather cool at night and Silicon seems to
have a tough time setting up in cold temps.  The Silicon II I used to
hold the deck screw to a piece of plasic just peeled right off with
little effort.  I know Silicon does pretty good in warmer weather, so I
just have to believe the cold temps are the problem.  Since cold temps
are the norm here until next May, it's something I just have to deal
with...
