Hi,
We need to bond Glass (large window, in situ) to bare steel. I've tried 3M VHB tape, and cannot use any of the etching tapes (flourine based) as we may need to get this off someday. Tape is preferred, but we're running out of options. We cannot heat the window to excess, and cannot apply enormous pressures.
We've tried most of the available 3M tapes, and a few other brands -- they all fall off when cleaning the window ie. a small amount of water, or creep badly with small shear loads.
The area is quite large -- approx 60 square inches, and the static shear load is low -- approx 10lbs. No dynamic loads.
Does anyone have any known good solutions ?
TIA,
