I'm wanting to fix some nameplates to a loco & as the saddle tank gets rather hot I was wondering what is the best adhesive to use to stick the plate to the loco.
Any reccomendations?
Cheers
Si

Clear silicone. Resists heat extremely well, & can be removed without damaging the underlying paintwork.

As per "Big-Ted" that is what i was advised to use, and did. Apparently it make removal easy, with little or no damage, though that I have not tried.

Glue? No... Whatever you use will take the paint off if the plate is ever removed.
