Sly11[Admin] Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 Hi all What glue is best to use for gluing rubber hand guards onto rubber gloves. I have tried CA glue and it did not work. Thank you in advance for any input Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locitus[Admin] Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 (edited) You want this one with the activator pen. --------- Edited January 14, 2021 by gmrhodes13 link not working, removed gmrhodes13 2021 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clamps[TK] Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 (edited) This glue works great as well. LePage/Loctite brand depending in where you live. -------- Edited January 14, 2021 by gmrhodes13 link not working, removed gmrhodes13 2021 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt[501st] Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 Also..not so much what glue..but preparation is key...clean everything twice with soap and water....the best glue wont stick to an oily glove Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locitus[Admin] Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 Another pro-tip is to not glue all the way out to the edge of the handguard. Leave a couple of mm of space all around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly11[Admin] Posted August 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 Awesome, thanks all. The glue stuck to the glove no problems, but it wouldn't stick to the rubber hand guard. I only tried on one, but did clean everything with soapy water first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrainWreck[501st] Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 I've been using this as a resource lately for my Tusken since I have several different materials that need gluing: http://www.thistothat.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazmosis[501st] Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 The primer pen pack that Mathias suggested should be all you need. My handplates are silicone which is something the NOTHING except silicone should stick to and that worked. It worked so well that when I needed to change my gloves I had to cut the rubber glove around the handplate because I couldn;'t get it off.

I'm Batman[501st] Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 Another pro-tip is to not glue all the way out to the edge of the handguard. Leave a couple of mm of space all around. Haha. Yeah, I learnt the hard way. CA glue leaked out onto my 'protective' tape which meant I couldn't remove the tape. Suffice to say I threw those gloves out and started again. Glue wise, I used regular CA glue with Trooperbays handguards (rubber, I think). Working a treat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sly11[Admin] Posted August 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 Found the glue with primer pen that gazmosis recommended , works perfectly, that's one thing done for my TK, now where's my armour, in the hands of Australia Post, so hopefully next week is going to be a big one.
