I have the same issue on my Eliminator. If you "dip the tip" does that make for more of a PIA when you do have to get the screw out for whatever reason?
this is what I have used also
I've used the toothpick deal for bimini strap loop mount thingees in a pinch and it held. What are those things called? Hook loop mounts? Dunno.
Ya it works and the zip ties are plastic so no worries about water. It saved me a couple of times until I could properly fix it.
Walt, another option is to install a nut sert into the hole where the self tapping screw was installed and then use a machine screw like 8/32 or 10/32 into the nut sert. It’s a little time consuming but that way there is nut to have access to in the future to remove panels. Just use machine screws and anti seize.
yes it is and will likely suffice however the silicone needs to contacted and drawn into the hole at the surface of the hole. Place the silicone on hull then apply screw through item to be held in place. that way you insure the silicone goes into the hole/glass to help retain and nowhere else. How thick id the glass where the screw is trying to hold? Also possible a larger like #14 screw may have better hold power being it has a larger contact/grip area on the hull? gatta pic? haha
yes it is just a really good water proof silicone
no...not according to the product label. it's for permanent installation such as hull rigging on sail boats etc. For your app. any silicone should help depending on how much force/movement the piece is experiencing.
No it's not that strong it dries in a rubbery compound that can be removed just stronger than regular silicone
