Sw0ggD0gg Motor mounts, no waiting for poly to dry! under $20 !

[sw0ggd0gg]

I was assembling a speaker enclosure for my home theatre and was using this hot glue to do tac assembly before using fasteners.

Before anyone says "Hot glue is gonna melt with engine temps blah blah..."
this is contruction adhesivise. i noticed while using it it gets very hard and dries quickly. So I thought WTH. I got out my glue gun and started melting the sticks, it takes a higher temp to melt this glue that your mount areas will ever see. I have had the Boombas and sold them once before. I wish I saw this earlier. I filled my top dog bone and my lower mount full of this compound and it was rock solid within five minutes. I slapped em in and beat the balls off my car for quiet a while. No cracks no breaks, nothing, i let the car sit in a heated garage for a while afterward and there was definateley no sign of melting. Here are some Pics and the product package.

NOTE METHOD OF APPLCIATION:

Fill with one layer at a time. Fill a layer, let become hard. Fill again. Let harden. Repeat blahbalh. This will let the outer most layer have its own area to become soft because of outside elements. It wont contact the other layers because of the surface tact of the other layers. Thanks again





Sorry for teh iphone pics.

great idea for sure

[ddukk]

hows the in cabin vibrations? also you think it wont melt in 100+ weather? that would be my only concern in the summer other then that yeah

[CincoMan]

Hell... If it holds up to the temps then I say you found a good deal!

[streetlunatic08]

sweet. prob try this this weekend

[RGV-SI-]

What is it originally used for?

[thunderdome]

not a bad idea ... at what temp did the glue roughly melt at if you can tell at all??

[ddukk]

i just looked up the company the melting temp is 177 F
but it softens when in contact with salt water.. idk if thats a good thing

[IceMurder]

prob a bad thing if salt affects it

[TuGood2BTru]

It was a great thought, but I don't think this will work in the winter if salt affects it, with the salt in the roads and melted ice mixed in.

[a1rfreshener]

do u think hitting it with a clear coat or a epoxy to seal it so no salt water hit it?cuz to me it seems like it will work, even if layer some bathroom ****ing over it. yea? haha sorry im just a cheap ass

[ddukk]

possibly would have to see if sw0ggd0gg tested it in the rain yet

[sw0ggd0gg]

I been driving it in all this snow and slush. still rock solid definateley need to do rear mount though. im gonna do it here once weather breaks. it has definateley helped with motor flop.

[ddukk]

how are the vibrations sw0ggd0gg?

[sw0ggd0gg]

its like having my old boomkba mounts. at first the dash vibrates all to hell when you cluthcing to start. the vibrations have mello'd out a bit but you know yer mounts are solid.

[w00t692]

If it melts at 177F it will eventually not be in there anymore heh.

[a1rfreshener]

wat is the brand name? and wats it called? i want wat u got :]

[TuGood2BTru]

I have no doubt that this would work better than stock mounts, but I'm not sure how long these will hold up keeping the same stiffness you know?

[sw0ggd0gg]

The mounts never reach over 80-90 degress except air temps... i ran my car like a beotch and got under there after running it in a heated garage. The mounts are warm not hot. plus if the surface even gets hot enough to melt, you litterly have a brick of adhesive its a solid brick. its not goin anywhere.

[w00t692]

^^ fair enough. Remember that it also softens as it heats up. Most of the stuff we're using doesn't soften as it gets to the temps it will run every day.
