I have a dishwasher that is 6 years old and has a broken plastic front facia that holds the start button ad control panel at the top of the door. Is there any sort of 'sticky tape' that is suitable for holding the facia in place?, the duct tape i am using keeps coming off. (currently stuck around the plastic and on to the metal lip of the door.) A new part from hotpoint is £80 without labour !!!!
Thanks Paul
Double sided carpet tape might do the trick. No idea what you call it in the UK. Also, there are thin pieces of foam with sticky stuff on both sides that is good for holding irregular surfaces together. Both are pretty much of a "one way trip," and do not come off easily. Also consider the "putty" type epoxy resins... two parts, thick stuff, mix up, "trowel" in place.
try vhb tape. 3m makes a good one.
Thanks for the suggestion, i'll give them a go

A couple of stratgically placed daps of RTV-732 oughta do the trick. Available in many colors...
I love that stuff!

Alternatively, use one of the GOOPs. I use ShoeGOOP (Shoe GOO over there) and PlumbersGOOP regularly, and they are the best all-purpose adhesives I've used yet.

I haven't tried it yet, but I just got a tube of E6000, their industrial bonding offering. The 3.7oz (110ml) tube was $5.49 delivered (USA) from an eBay vendor.
