glue for uPVC
sm_jamieson
sills etc) and this usually lasts much better than silicone, but has
no gap-filling properties.
I had to fix a cover strip to the top of a uPVC door (I did not
measure up !), and superglue would not take. It turned out the back of
the cover strip was not sufficiently flat. So I used silicone as that
was what I had to hand.
What glue should I use that is more permanent that silicone, but will
also fill slight gaps ??
Thanks,
Simon.

Solvent weld for PVC drain pipe. It will 'gap fill' by dissolving the
surface. And you'll never separate them.

I've used impact adhesive (evostik) to stick plastic cup hooks to uPVC
windows, having first removed all traces of the useless double-sided
tape provided with the hook, and it's worked absolutely brilliantly.
(No I don't hang cups on the double glazing; this is for supporting
rigid curtain rails...)

I've ofen not had much luck with that (especially for reapirs), as the
uPVC had so much filler in it that it wouldn't dissolve well enough to
gap fill. The trick was to dissolve some unfilled PVC wastepipe in it
(as shavings) too.
