Corse badge

[CAR]

Hi

Got the corse edition of the monster and the badge on the front fender is peeling off - I've tried a couple of household glues but. Nothing is working - any suggestions on the right adhesive for the job?

Sounds like a job for UHU Por.

The strength of this stuff never ceased to amaze me in model aeroplanes, we actually used it to make working hinges... Yes the glue was the hinge on major control surfaces... Anyway.

It's going to pay you to get the badge right off.
Before that, carefully and accurately mask around the badge. this will protect the surrounds from any prying tools that may be needed!

Once the badge is off, thoroughly clean 'guard and badge, removing any previous glue.
Then apply a thin smear of UHU Por to both surfaces (another reason for the masking).
Allow the glue to tack. It should feel fairly dry to the touch. Then accurately press the badge back onto the masked area... Exactly where it was.
Press it on hard, remove masking and it's done.

Thanks for the detailed response - will give that a crack!

Just bin it and get a replacement they're not to costly.

Any tips on where to get the badges or would it only be available through ducati directly?
