Hi,
Does anyone know a reliable way to glue/cement rubber?
I know there is one Loctite product (name / number?) that is often used for making O-rings on the fly. Does that also work for larger surfaces?
Any other suggestions are also welcome.
Regards

| Loctite is just some icky gooey stuff that you smear on the threads of a bolt or the likes that hardens to keep it from coming unscrewed, though I suppose it could be used instead of PTFE tape on small fittings. |

The Loctite company makes many kinds of adhesives.
Use rubber cement, works great. |

I'm not sure if contact cement is the same as rubber cement, but I used contact cement to attach the sealing face to the piston for my "marshmallow" gun.
It has not failed yet.
It was LePages. The evil, solvent based kind.  |

Hi,
OK, rubber cement; that sound plausible, haha. Problem is, I see all kinds of Loctite etc. products where I get my pneumatic parts, but nothing called rubber cement. OK I will ask.
Thanks for the answers.
Regards

| You can get rubber cement where ever you can buy auto tire plugs or inner tube patchs. Sorry, I should have said that. |

Actually certain types of cynocrylate(aka super glue) will work(depends largely on whether or not you buy the gel or liquid types). I know in the US Elmers glues makes a super glue especially for rubbers and vinyls. Super glue should be at any general store.
For heavy duty stuff go to a marine parts supplier. They should have a large supply of different adhesives. You name it, you can get a glue for it. |
