Cool Tired of bug guts...

I am tired of cleaning bug guts splattered and covering the radiator and coming through the side headlight vents.
Bought some aluminum wire mesh and glued it to the vents and added to the radiator existing mesh.
Here in Texas everything is big and the June bugs and mosquitos are like a Boing 747.

Looks good, what glue did you use? It would want to be good to hold on at speed.

I used black sealant, we do it at work, it holds a fibreglass sheet on a lorry roof, so its strong, I used a mastic gun to apply the sealant pushed the mesh on and left to dry, its called purflex but im not sure what countries you can get it in

Thumbs up

I used JB Weld.
KwikWeld | Quick-Setting Steel Reinforced Epoxy
Forgot to say: easy to mix, manipulate, super strong hold and quick set up time.
It's so strong, that if you crash, this bonded part will survive. XD
