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.

well thanks for the advice, ill just wait it out. i didnt know about the LP, ill have to try that next time.

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 ----

the window weld i got worked great in a regular caulk gun :-\

they still make that ----?


on topic: i used the 3m window ---- and it took about 3 days to be completely done. to make sure it is done stick a nail in it and if it pulls out clean its dry

mine too... i didnt even know there was a different one. I got several quotes of $165 and up for the mount, so this was definetly a cheap alternative, if it takes a little longer, im not worried about it. for $199 i can get the NISMO solid inserts for all the mounts...i plan on doing that eventually, depending on how the window weld holds up. thanks again.

i had some and filled a old dseries motor mount and a exhaust hanger i had sittin around i left it in my garage and it was cold so it didnt work good... it dryed but i streched the hanger and it basicly stayed the shape but was coming of the rubber and i had some rubber cleaner as well before filling them... ima try it again when the weather gets warmer here...

That's good ----. When I use to skate that stuff was like the damn scripture, don't leave home without it... Cool to hear it works on mounts too

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

I did one, lost it did anotherone a week later, found the old one, it was perfect

That fucker from Louisville tried to sell APC taillights on Ebay for $10,000.......------- asshat.

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

When I did it, an oven set to very low temps does speed up the drying somewhat.

Hey "AssHat". It was a joke to begin with and it has the option for Best Offer so those interested can make a reasonable offer. It was just a marketing attempt.

I do apologize for one thing though. I created the auction for people with either enough intelligence or a sense of humor, which you have shown here to have neither. I am sorry I was being discriminatory.

i set mine in front of one of the vents in my house and i just let it sit for a bout 2 days. no probs here

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

the sr20 mount is a bit bigger than the d series mounts im used to, there was alot more material to fill in, plus i removed alot of the loose rubber before hand. its been around 75 hours... i had it in my basement which is slightly heated. the past 24 hours has been upstairs where the real heat is, and its drying much faster. the tooth pick still comes out wet, but ill install it tomorrow, so i can shift without the motor tapping the hood. ;D
