Bigheads & FS Adhesive Failure - Any thoughts/solutions

Hi all,

After returning home from a 3,500 mile tour of Euro over 2.5 weeks following Le Mans we had an incident whilst on holiday where the adhesive used to hold my wings on failed. 3 of the 8 Bigheads detached themselves loose, 2 on the near side wing and 1 on the offside. Duct tape saved the day for the rest of the tour, but now I'm back I would like to re-attach them using the same methodology, but looking at a different adhesive, any thoughts?

Silkaflex or Tiger Seal seem to be the favoured options, but there are a mix of opinions on which to use?

Has anyone else experieced a similar issue with adhesives failing?

Kind regards

Gregs

Tiger Seal!

My wings have been stuck on directly to the wing stays with that for years with no issues.
No use of Bigheads, and no problems for 100,000 miles, or so...
