i used it before... just not to fill the whole mount.... it dries pretty good... kinda rubbery... but its just taking way to ------- long.....

Might just go out tommorow and buy a food dehydrator and put it in there for a while...

I use 3m windo-weld. About 9.99 a tube.. 1.5 tube will do a civic. ---- dries in about 24 hours to a pretty stiff rubber consistancy. been there on my old Accord for 3 years now and even rescued some of my ---- *** split mounts!





after:





i didnt take a pics, but after that i trimmed the dried excess off with a sharp knife and it looked purdy just like the dogbone front mount up top. a lot cheaper than 300 bucks of new mounts! notable increase in interior vibration, but whatever

Just keep heating it up and then cooling it right after... check on the bottle of the stuff you bought for more information.. u ready for the interior vibrations? why didnt u tell me u needed a mount.. i had an extra good condition one or 10

I dont know about good as new... maybe better than new... depends on how you look at it... mine was broken.. so i was getting mad wheel hop when i took off.... so im stiffening it solid.. now it shouldnt move... but theres gonna be a hell of a lot more noise coming from your interior trim.... coin in the ashtray...etc etc... but who needs all that ----?

Well if its roofing ---- its probably butyl rubber.They dont use silicone for roofing couse it deteriorates.......that chocolaty smells comfirms its rubber and not silicone.

I used tub and tile silicone for mine and it dried solid in like 48hrs.

Hard mounts don't vibrate too bad if you're balanced... Oh yeah, but balancing is for pussies. :P

Well took it for a test drive and it ------- feels so much better now.... no wheel hop.... smoother shifting... and no bogging on gear change.... and the tires chirp again...

and all this for just fixing 1 mount....
