Adhesive
After years of looking, I recently obtained a pair of the old Piper
Cherokee logos from the center of the old style bow tie yokes. They are in fine condition and really jazz up the cockpit I am unsure of what to use to mount them in the semicircular recess in the yoke. I would not want to use an adhesive that will react in some way with the "plastic" yoke and weaken them. There is already a recurrent AD to check these yokes for cracks, so these pot metal emblems will need to be removed from time to time for inspection. Bruce McFadden Birmingham, AL PA32-260 |

Shoe Goo (Goop?) usually works great in a lot of these situations. If you
use the silicone be sure to use the low odor kind to avoid having corrosive ammonia fumes drifting around the cockpit while the silicone is curing. -- Best Regards, Mike http://photoshow.comcast.net/mikenoel "Jester" wrote in message oups.com...

It is not ammonia, it should be a vinegar smell and is acidic acid I believe. But that is a good point. Use the humidity curing RTVs. -- Regards, Ross C-172F 180HP KSWI |

It's highly unlikely the Silastic RTV (TM) would hurt many plastics. OTOH It might not stick well either. Nearly all RTVs use the moisture in the air to aid in curing.
