Seat foam not sticking - what glue did you use?
I've used self-adhesive race seat foam on my fibreglass seat unit. After not too many miles it's detaching itself from the areas where it was moulded round the contours of the seat. I now have a big pad with wings!
The adhesive is no longer sticking to the foam (although it's well stuck to the seat unit). I was going to try to re-stick it with Araldite Rapid but does anyone have any other suggestions/experience? |

No experience but I would like to make a suggestion that I think might work well.
Friend of mine is a carpet fitter and uses this spray on glue for sticking down either carpet or carpet tiles when not using underlay and I reckon it'd do the job pretty well. It's very stringy and sticky when sprayed. http://www.screwfix.com/p/evo-stik-c...hesive%20500ml |

use a contact adhesive such as evo-stik. apply evostik to both parts and allow to dry (very important you allow it to dry) then put the foam pad under the grill, yes i said under the grill till the glue starts to bubble slightly then while hot stick to seat unit. give it a good old press to fix it down properly. the surface you are adhering to must be roughened up for it to work properly.
test a piece of the foam first to make sure that you dont get a reaction with the glue and the glue melts the foam. once applied it will NEVER come off without a good old mess. how do i know this? my first ever job was a cobbler lol. or have a word with brelin he seems to have found a glue that worked on his tank pads |

Cheers Bibio. That sounded so complicated that I'm utterly convinced it will work. :)
Picked up some contact adhesive earlier and put the seat pad back on tonight. I'll leave it alone for 24 hours and see how it goes. |

no need for 24hrs m8 20mins should do the trick lol.

Mrs T doesn't like me putting bike bits in the dishwasher so, obviously, I do it when she's out. Usually it's the perfect crime but, if said parts have been left soaking in paraffin first, you won't get away with it. I had to pretend I couldn't smell it for a week.
There was a bit of an over-reaction to that one I thought. Although this was around the time I'd spilt a bit of brake fluid on the new oak dining table, so it was probably an accumulation thing. |
