[RE-wrenches] Adhesives. (Was "used panel mount questions")

Wrenches,

There are PV-specific adhesives certified for use on backsheets.

Examples are:

Dow-Corning 737
Dow-Corning 804
Tonsan 1527

and others.

These are silicone-based, but NOT at all like what you'd buy from big-box
or similar outlets.

Consumer-type silicone adhesives such as Ray mentioned will *not* have
the long term adhesion to the backsheets.  They work for a while, but not
20 years.

Any good distributor of adhesives will stock or can get what you need.

Here in the Dallas/Fort Worth area we have a company called "Krayden".
They have warehouse locations around the country, and stock the Dow
adhesives I mentioned above.  I'm sure there are also other sources.

For small jobs, you can buy these PV adhesives in "caulk" sized tubes
that work (where else?) in a caulking gun.
