Default Indeglow glue

Notice how on integra's instrument cluster it doesn't have little black screws holding the faces in place.
So when you want to put indeglows you put that glue so the indeglows stick to on
top of the stock faces.

I'm trying to transfer the indeglows from one car to another.

Where can i find that glue ?
I don't want to use superglue because than they won't ever come off.

Unless you use super glue or something strnng like that, your indiglo gauge faces will bend up and interfere with the needles. I'm guessing it has something to do with the heat that weakens the stickiness of the tape over time. Hence the need for a strong glue. But the glue will wreck your stock faces.

So you'll either have to bite the bullet and get the glue, deal with the problem of having to retape the faces when they start bending up or just save your money and scrap the idea of indiglo's. Many that I know got tired of it after a while because of the problems they had or because the "glow" fromt he faces got to be annoying! hehe! Good luck!

yeah... you'll have to use some strong glue or else the guages will pop out and interfere with the needles... happened to me twice and I got tired of putting new tape on so i just took the guages off and threw them somewhere around the house...

never had a problem w/double sided tape, just dont get the cheap stuff. if you want to take the guages off...youre stuck w/old glue on your guage cluster.

yea, i used to have indiglos for about a year. I used double sided tape and never had a problem. It was the "3M permanent double sided tape" it held them down like glue, but was still removable. about a month ago i took them off and sold them, and just used some Goo Gone to get the tape residue off and now my gauges are like new. Go w/the tape

I actually used a glue stick from staples. Its held on for over a year now. Comes off w/ water too. When I glued the faces down I used some masking tape to hold the faces on tightly and let it sit overnight.

I used a Silicon based glue on my sistered car. Worked perfect. Holds them down good, but also comes off if you need it to.
