Sierra Bellows Adhesive 18-9031-1, High-Viscosity Rubber Bonding Cement
Sierra Bellows Adhesive 18-9031-1, High-Viscosity Rubber Bonding Cement
Sierra Bellows Adhesive 18-9031-1 is a high-viscosity rubber bonding adhesive designed for securing bellows and other rubber components during marine drive and exhaust bellows installation. Formulated as a strong cream-to-paste bonding compound, it is applied directly from a syringe for precise, controlled placement without mess or waste. The clear cured finish keeps the bond line inconspicuous on rubber, metal, glass, and plastic surfaces.
This adhesive is a high-viscosity formula, so it stays where it is applied rather than running or dripping during installation, which makes it well suited to vertical and overhead bonding tasks common when fitting bellows around sterndrive and outdrive components. It is packaged in a 59 milliliter syringe as a single unit, giving installers a ready-to-use quantity for one or more bellows jobs. Note that this adhesive is not rated as water resistant, so it should be used as a bonding agent rather than a sealant against water intrusion.
