Re: Best glue for running board rubber

Did you ask Steele?
If I were doing this I'd shoot a coat of primer, or better epoxy primer over the bondo side. It'll cut down on any corrosion from water that gets trapped under the rubber.
I use a factory recommended loctite product(not sure without checking but 480 comes to mind) for the sheet rubber parts on the boat it's black and is like thick super glue, cures fast but would cost a lot for large areas like running boards, only goes on one side and don't need full coverage.

Trouble with contact, no work time and if not dry it won't stick well/blister. Once you drop it on, it's stuck. Some use waxpaper to position then pull out as you roll together. Look up how they glue veneer on wood for ideas.
I did a test a few years back for the Cad and if I recall E2000 did a good job on bare steel and rubber sheet. But need to clamp or pressure til it sets.
