How to glue cork onto metal?


Garald

Recommended Posts

I  added 2cm-thick self-adhesive cork panels on the inside of a metal door (which was either uninsulated or poorly insulated; the owners before the previous owners installed it, and I haven't succeeded in prying it open to see what is inside). They are doing their job, and I am getting an additional, nicer-looking 1cm-thick on cork to put on top.

 

The one caveat is that the cork is already becoming unstuck from the metal at certain places (no doubt because the fit is too tight, and so the cork gets pushed outwards when one closes the door; I just cut it a little).

 

What kind of glue would be best for pasting cork to metal? What kind of glue is best for pasting cork to cork?

Contact adhesive should do it - I've previously used Evostik.

 

Like this?

There's also an aerosol can, but it seems to come with warnings as to how it extinguishes all life on earth in the short to medium term.

Oh wait, so does the tube above. Is there something less harmful?
