Need Help with Easy Hit Shotgun Sight

Rob of Akron · May 31, 2016

I like using the stick on "Champion Easy Hit Shotgun Sight" and for the most part the product preforms as advertised. However, overtime (Approximately 6 months) the sight seems to lose its' adhesiveness and slowly separates itself from the barrel. The sight does not suddenly fall off, instead portions of the sights base slowly separate from the adhesive tape. When it finally needs removed I notice equal amounts of the original adhesive tape still stuck to the barrel rib and the "Easy Hit Shotgun Sight". To me it appears that the gun oil may have deteriorated the stick on tape. Or so it appears.

My question: Is there an adhesive I can use to successfully reattach the sight. In other words is there a glue, or a silicon, or perhaps a tape I can use to do this?

Thanks in advance! Your advice is greatly appreciated!

Black silicone gasket in a tube works also .I put 2 full length ribs on two bbls. And had to use a razor blade to get the off
One was steel and one aluminum. Just let it set overnight. Trim excess off next day.u can use a rubber band to hold it till it drys.

I'll "third" the 3M Extreme double-sided mounting tape. It's what they use to attach automotive emblems to cars. Also, same stuff they use if you've ever had an Add-A-Rib. When I had an AAR on my doubles gun, it never came lose or any indication that it would. That's shooting 2-3 rounds of doubles in 95 degree heat so you know there's some heat build up there!

Black silicone gasket sealer as mentioned above. It's highly oil resistant. Be sure to remove all tape adhesive first and clean both surfaces with solvent before applying. I have used the stick on tape and it works well, but only for short periods. Marc

Everyone thank you very much for the awesome advice! I was actually at the point of giving up on using any type of stick on sight. I
now believe that the use of the double sided 3M or Scotch mounting tapes will fix my problem. As of now I think I will try the black gasket silicone sealer first. I am certain either method will work. Thanks again everyone for your valuable input!

I use the 3M tape also, but wipe the rib with carb cleaner and heat it up with a heat gun first. Never had one come loose.
