filling motor mounts...anyway to speed up drying time?
 

I was wondering if there was anything i can do to make the window weld dry faster. My passenger side motor mount was completely shot, and it was quite a big mount, and alot of material. Its been 20 hours, and its still pretty soft. I already took the duct tape off the one side, and flipped it over. Is it better to have it hot or cold while drying? Would baking it help, or is it soley a time based cure?

just looking for suggestions. Thanks.

I have to be honest, it was like 48+ hours before I drove mine and the middle was still a bit tacky. I think that stuff is like time based, but Im not to sure.

yeah the window weld sucks just get the liquid poly, that ---- drys pretty fast.

DO NOT BAKE IT!!! I tried just putting it on the door ov my open oven and it got all fucked up. Just let it sit at room temp and wait.

Just put it in a dry place and let it sit. I would suggest to anyone else doing this a week ahead of time on some spare mounts.

Although lightly difficult to locally source you can use polyethylene as a filler. The only thing I could find was polypropylene which is extremely available and comes in everything from astro turf to clothing. I would be damned to have to slice up my nice large expensive pampered chef cutting board for the sake of motor mounts.

Polyethylene material is high density in comparison and has a greater tensile strength making it ideal for the task. I think I'm just going to brake down and insert the polypropylene since it's cheap and already sitting in the back seat of the car. I need to determine the melting point of it just to be safe. I'm sure it will work out great with the 3m window weld. The benefits of the filler will really help out your cure time for the parts of the mount that are not near an outer surface edge.

Oh yeah, I didn't buy the special window weld gun. I said screw that, I'll just use a socket with extension instead. Fucked up that only one special gun has to be used with the weld. Why can't they make it in normal caulk tubes.

If you guys are lucky I may whip up a little writeup with pics and some scientific ----
