Title: Air Filter Glue
Post by: shalbern on June 07, 2011, 04:54:05 PM

Hi,

I removed the paper element from my P250 air cleaner panel and bought some foam filter material to replace it with.

What type or adhesive or glue to I use to bond the foam into the old panel?

I need something that is strong, can take some heat, and it flexible. Any Ideas?

Any except super glue that tends to burn and eat away such type of material (you can even see and smell pugnant smoke!). Clear household glue or epoxy two-component will do fine.

I have used E6000 to repair foam air filters.  It works on almost anything.  It's hard to find but if there is a Michaels near you, they carry it.  If not try another craft or hobby store.

Let me know how it turns out.  I was thinking of doing the same thing on my Super 8 using the foam from an extra Uni Filter I have.
