3M Super Weatherstrip and Gasket Adhesive – 147 mL Black for Aircraft and Automotive Sealing
3M Super Weatherstrip and Gasket Adhesive is a black, heavy-duty contact adhesive formulated specifically for bonding rubber weatherstrips, gaskets, door seals, and felt materials to metal, plastic, and composite surfaces in aerospace and automotive applications. Its specialized formula is optimized for the demanding requirements of weatherstrip bonding — maintaining flexible, durable bonds that resist the constant mechanical flexing, temperature cycling, moisture exposure, and cleaning agents that weatherstrip and seal joints experience throughout the vehicle or aircraft service life.
The black color of this adhesive provides an aesthetically correct match to the black rubber, neoprene, and EPDM weatherstripping and gasket materials used in aircraft and vehicle door and window sealing systems. The cured adhesive film remains flexible and maintains adhesion to both the rubber and the metal or plastic mounting surface, preventing weatherstrip lift and air/water leakage at seal joints during service.
The 5 oz tube format provides a practical quantity for maintenance operations and small production runs, with the tube nozzle allowing precise bead application along weatherstrip channels and gasket mounting surfaces for efficient, controlled adhesive placement.

Technical Information
3M Super Weatherstrip Adhesive is based on a neoprene contact adhesive chemistry specifically compounded for optimal adhesion to the rubber and neoprene substrates used in weatherstrip and gasket applications. The adhesive chemistry provides stronger long-term adhesion to vulcanized rubber than general-purpose contact adhesives, resisting the progressive peel forces applied to weatherstrips by repeated door opening and closing cycles and by differential thermal expansion between the rubber seal and the metal or plastic channel it is bonded to.
The adhesive is applied as a contact bond system — applied to both surfaces, allowed to flash off, then the surfaces are pressed firmly together. The contact bond provides immediate handling strength that holds the weatherstrip in position while the solvent carrier completes its evaporation from the bond film. Full adhesive strength develops progressively over 24 hours as the polymer network achieves its final mechanical state.
The black adhesive color remains stable and UV-resistant in finished weatherstrip joints, maintaining the neat, finished appearance of door and window seal systems throughout the service life of the aircraft or vehicle. The adhesive is compatible with the standard range of neoprene, EPDM, and silicone-based weatherstrip and gasket materials commonly used in aerospace applications.
