Re: will superglue melt rubber?
it will make it white though and brittle, i think it depends on the rubber.

Re: will superglue melt rubber?
Did you know it was actually invented during the war for quickly glueing skin back together in the field instead stiches??
Of course that may just be one of those things people say in the pub...

Re: will superglue melt rubber?
As someone else has said, it depends on the rubber. It shouldnt affect it too much though, but do be carefull not to let it drip into the tyres, just in case.
Wear adequate eyewear, wear gloves, etc etc other safety crap. Treat all chemicals like they can kill etc etc blah blah Matt |

Re: will superglue melt rubber?
I've superglued minis before and it didn't work very well, it's quite brittle, superglue, so it's not great for a flexible repair. Silicon adhesives are usually quite good for that sort of job.
Remember when using superglue, the white residue is caused by the glue and fumes reacting with grease and oil from your skin- clean the part first and that won't happen.
