   You need to leave it with some pressure on for hours mate, it's not like regular glue

   Use a glue gun to stick the mesh to the grill. I used it and it works perfect. It doesn't crack or anything

   Lol I know! But yeah it's strong as hell, find something or someway of applying pressure to it if you don't want to hold it

    Tigerseal will take the best part of 12-24 hours to fully obtain its maximum strength
    
    Usually overnight will be sufficient
    
    Its bloody brilliant stuff though once its set

    If any of you can come up with a method of removing tigerseal once it's fully cured, you'll be a rich man!
    
    Whoever had my car previously tigersealed all the VT body panels on, I've literally had to cut the panels to get them off & bought new VT panels to replace them ready for the re-spray! :/

    Aha beat me to it, I'd have recommended N.R.P anyway if you hadn't already found it
