rubber
Anybody have any tips for re-fixing the captive nuts in rubber parts? Ataldite looks favourite but i'm sure there is a proper way - looks like a lot of stuff to learn now with new project :?
Nope dont think Araldite or any other hard setting glue will work.
I am sure specialist products exist, however
I think you will find it difficult to resecure them, despite the manufacturers "wonder promises"
But basically you need a product that sets resilient, and sticks like F---
Where are they torn out?
I do know that the origional brand name "loktite" advertised that it could make "O" rings to size from rubber precisly cut with a very sharp blade, but that relied on perfectly contacting surfaces, wot you have not got
I am gibbering again :roll:
Good luck

Hi Chris "Tigerseal" I have used it as a filler for scratches/gouges and re-attaching the stiffeners on G' rubber wheelarches.once it has cured you can dress it into shape and it remains flexible ....comes in various colours....
Thanks once again Peter, that looks like the stuff

Thanks Marcus, gibbering is good, yes they were torn out. I think the problem with rubber is that once it has been vulcanised nothing sticks so I thought if i cleaned out the rust and undercut, something castable like araldite might do.
Something to think about..........,
