How To Repair Loose Alumunum Cladding On Andersen Gliding Door

• #1

I have an Anderson slider that a piece of the vinyl is peeling off. It'south forest underneath. I want to re-gum information technology. I call up it would be smart to remove it completely starting time, clean information technology upwards and and then glue it back down. The commencement question is what kind of agglutinative should I employ? And second, what do you recall will work best at cleaning off the erstwhile adhesive to become it prepared?

Any possibility of whatsoever warranty left on the door?

• #iii

Nope. Door is more than 10 years old (first thing I idea of)

• #iv

I call back y'all are out of luck.

I would contact Anderson directly and run the question past them. I'm certain they'd have the all-time reply.

I don't know what is the proper glue to use, but I would use liquid nails.

I'grand thinking forth the same line. Only desire to make certain I can go information technology flat / affluent plenty cuz it's the fixed unit and the slider passes in front of it.

Contact cement would exist my quick choice. Near other glues that bond to plastic are also thick-bodied to flatten the cladding dorsum where it belongs. I'd mask everything off and apply the spray type and so it reaches into every space. Only Andersen may have a improve respond.

I gauge contact cement is waterproof enough for this outdoor-facing piece. I likewise gauge that contact cement needs a nearly-perfectly flat surface. Would a end sander be appropriate for removing old adhesive?

I only looked back at this thread and thought I should put an end on it.

I went with a Gorilla brand adhesive. I call up contact cement would have been the correct choice, merely I would have had to remove the whole door to place the panel with total accurateness, and contact cement is not forgiving. It was the stationary door, and equally I read up on the assembly instructions I realized that I would take had to disassemble just about everything to take that door off to lay it flat. Since I was racing the cold weather, and since the chances of swell some odd piece of trim was a possibility, I decided to work it in place.
There were a couple of spots of soft wood under the panel which I had to dig out. Then I used a forest hardener over the whole expanse and filled it with a two part wood putty. I scraped and sanded off the remaining adhesive from the door and from the back of the vinyl panel (it actually was more of a laminate..it looked pretty much like Formica). The Gorilla structure adhesive that I went with was waterproof and white like the door - 2 adept reasons. The adhesive claimed to be easy to clean up and since I was worried about clasp-out, that was also a adept reason. Information technology turned out that information technology was easy to clean up and spreadable enough that I was able to get a nice flush tight fit without much of a problem. The white color that is visible in the seam means I didn't have to try to caulk the seams.
Information technology held up good through this winter and i will let you know if it continues to hold upwards in the nicer atmospheric condition.

2 i/two years later and I still am happy with it. I used Gorilla Construction Adhesive (Gorilla 9oz Heavy Duty Construction Adhesive-8010003 - The Home Depot) I was careful to spread information technology on very thin, pressed the console into place and blocked it with a piece of plywood and weights leaning confronting information technology until it dried overnight. Putting it on thin prevented any squeeze-out and as well prevented any lumpiness.

I would exist cautious of an expanding mucilage, as information technology could expand outward instead.
