3M 08008 Super Weatherstrip Adhesive is a black, fast-drying, rubbery glue in a 5 oz tube formulated to create flexible, vibration-resistant bonds for weatherstrips and trim.

This adhesive is designed for automotive and general-purpose sealing tasks where a flexible, oil- and water-resistant bond is needed. Supplied by 3M in a convenient squeezable 5 oz tube, the formula spreads easily, sets quickly, and adheres to a wide variety of surfaces including vinyl, metal, fabric and rubber. It’s intended to hold weatherstrips, door seals and interior trim without becoming brittle, and it resists common contaminants that can weaken other adhesives.

How does this adhesive perform in changing temperatures and vibration?

The 3M 08008 adhesive is formulated to remain flexible across a wide temperature range so bonded parts move without cracking. Its rubbery nature helps absorb vibration, reducing the likelihood of joint failure in high-motion areas.

• Retains flexibility under thermal cycling
