Kennel Gear, Adhesive Mount with Holes
What sets this product apart is its outstanding strength and durability, powered by the 3M Adhesive 300LSE. The bond strength is dependent on the adhesive-to-surface contact, which can be optimized using the suggested application techniques. All you need to do is apply firm pressure for around 20 seconds and moderate heat, ranging from 100°F (38°C) to 130°F (54°C). This will allow the adhesive to create an intimate contact with the bonding surface. Remember to wait for approximately an hour before applying any pressure.
For optimum adhesion, ensure that your chosen bonding surfaces are clean, dry, and well-unified. Surfaces such as glass and stainless steel are perfect for adhering to. The ideal tape application temperature range is 70°F to 100°F (21°C to 38°C). The adhesive may become too firm to adhere readily if applied to surfaces at temperatures below 50°F (10°C). However, once correctly applied, low-temperature holding is generally satisfactory.
The Kennel Gear Adhesive Mount with Holes is an excellent choice if you need to attach your mounting hardware on a solid non-porous surface such as glass, stainless steel, aluminum, or any other hard, flat surface. Simply remove the 3M covering sheet from one side, attach it to your mounting hardware, then remove the clear sheet from the other side and attach it to your permanent surface. Allow the adhesive to set before adding a significant load to the mount. For additional support, you can also utilize screws, ensuring the holes on the adhesive mount line up with the holes on the Surface Mount or Kennel Bar Mount.
Proper surface preparation remains essential for long-term retention in rugged conditions. Keep bonding surfaces clean, dry, and free of oil; non-porous substrates such as glass, stainless steel, and aluminum provide reliable adhesion when the area is flat and free of irregularities. In field setups, the combination of adhesive strength and optional screws offers stable mounting for kennel hardware during bird dog training and waterfowl work, even under dynamic loads from retrieving and movement. If you need to reposition, remove the protective sheets and reattach to a clean surface, then allow the bond to set before loading. For maintenance, inspect the bond after rough terrain, cold snaps, or extended use; clean any loose residue and reapply as needed once the surface is prepared. The mount pairs well with Surface Mounts and Kennel Bar Mount Systems and preserves alignment when used with holes on the mounting hardware. This setup supports durable, field-ready configurations for upland work, field trials, and hard-use kennels, while keeping a clear workflow for reconfiguration and safety. When in doubt, verify the surface is within the recommended 70–100 F (21–38 C) application window, especially before applying heat and pressure to enhance contact. Prepare the mounting area and test the bond under typical field loads before commencing a training day.
Kennel Gear, Adhesive Mount with Holes Q&A
What surfaces does this adhesive mount work best with?
The adhesive bonds to non-porous, flat surfaces such as glass, stainless steel, and aluminum when properly prepared. Ensure the surface is clean and dry for best results.
How long should I wait before loading after mounting?
Wait about an hour for the adhesive to set before applying significant load. During installation, apply firm pressure for roughly 20 seconds.
Can I use screws with the adhesive mount?
Yes, screws provide extra support; align the holes on the adhesive mount with the holes on the Surface Mount or Kennel Bar Mount.
What are the temperature considerations for application?
Ideal tape application temperature is 70°F to 100°F; surfaces below 50°F may hinder adhesion, though low-temperature holding is usually satisfactory. Heating to 100–130°F can improve bonding when needed.
What is the best way to reposition or remove the mount if needed?
Remove the protective sheets and reattach to a clean surface, then allow the bond to set before loading.
Is this compatible with Kennel Bar Mount Systems with no back plate?
Yes, it can be used with Kennel Bar Mount Systems with no back plate when the holes align with the mounting hardware.
