Dave,
You are right about there being several PSA's. At last count we've had almost 20 in stock. The problem that you are having w/ finding a white one is the composition. Invariably you will either have a PSA that dries clear or an amber colored one.
I hope I've helped,

My first guess would be a CA (cyanoacrylate) or an acrylic transfer tape that Dave mentioned. You may try using a urethane as a low cost bond.

Do not use Titebond or the equivalent. The aliphatics have horrible resistance to water. Even the Super Titebond was not designed for submersion. Use a structural urethane (used commonly in RV mfg to bond sidewalls to aluminum studs. Cure time is approx. 4 hours. Will be impervious to the...
Roger,
You are completely right about the moisture in the adhesive causing this problem. Most waterbased glues (Titebond "aliphatic", Super Titebond "PVA") contain upwards of 50% water to act as the carrier. If the wood wasn't porous, it wouldn't cause as much of a...
I would suggest using a urethane adhesive. It bonds to almost everything and gives structural support. The only time that I have witnessed failure was in the presence of oil.

The two materials I would have you try are:
1. Compounded Neoprene contact adhesive
2. Polyurethane Reactive PUR
The Neoprene contact adhesive is flammable, but will probably take the heat. The PUR will also give you excellent bonding power w/ flexibility and quick cure.
I hope that...
The problem with using silicone is the weak bond strength. Do you require high temperature resistance for this device? If you do not, I would suggest switching to a low cost moisture cure urethane that will provide an exceptional bond to the fabric with all the flexibility required. It has...
Kaleem,
Without knowing your location, it is hard to refer a vendor. I would recommend a hot melt called HL-0747HS for this application. It provides a structural bond approved by auto manufacturers. Depending on the application, I would either suggest a roll coater or spray head to apply...
I would suggest a SMP (Silyl Modified Polymer). It's adhesion competes w/ a methacrylate for structural strength. It also has incredible flexability. It can stretch up to 200% of the bond line and still maintain a structural bond. It is impervious to weather and comes in an easy to use caulk...
You can accomplish this bond with a moisture cure urethane. It will bond exceptionally well to both materials.

I am presently unsure if this is qualified as "clean room safe", but Moisture cure urethanes provide all the qualities listed. Flexibility up to 200% elongation (no cracking, flaking), excellent adhesion and strength.

Roy,
Good News! You can use an inexpensive Moisture cure urethane to stop that leak. These urethanes are recommended for above or below the water line in the Marine industry. The water will accelerate the cure and you will have a strong bond. Epoxy was not the best choice due to the wet...
I think ve7brz may be on the right path. The problem that I have had w/ photo sensors has been with refining accuracy. The photo eyes that I have used are good to within 12" for a large target. You can compensate for this by going to the fiber optic accessory. You would have to...
Methacrylates are an excellent adhesive, but very pricey. You will get a stronger bond with a MA but in most cases it's overkill unless you are using it as a support. I do not try to push an individual product, which is why I never call it by name on a response. Several manufacturers make...
