I've had only bad luck with Joe's suggested spray on adhesive. Any good mineral based contact cement should work fine. I always have a can of Weldwood (do not buy the water based version) around for applying pads to all my boards.

Sf, I think I have the weld wood solvent not water based contact cement, small size bottle with built-in brush, smells like the real deal but label reads "water resistant"...made me wonder. What's the label read on the can ? Thinking of using Aquaseal to both repair a rip and re-glue peeled up edge.

A good marine grade silicone works for me. http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/e ... 8HT14PGTgl

Wow, that's looks like some good stuff. Hadn't even thought much about using a silicone cause I always considered it more like a sealant than an adhesive , but that looks like a great product. Have you ever used it to adhere a full pad on a board? thanks Contiki

just done my Parkes pads after I'd pulled them off a few times.

It works very well but is hard to find. I found in a good art supply shop. Used a lot to stick photos to backing board. Waterproof. Also really hard to get it off your fingers.

I've used several products.(for me ) weldwood contact cement works the best.And if it's necessary to remove the pads;which I've done several times.It's not an hellacious chore.The main concern is having a clean,salt free dry surface.I'll scuff the surface with some light emory cloth.

cheers!

Forgot to mention that you must clean surface with rag/solvent first to remove any wax or greases salts grime. The bond should be very strong and you will probably have to destroy the pad in order to ever get it off. Cleanup with mineral Turpentine.

Just mix a hot batch of resin brush it on and they will never come off again.

best results for our nee-pro pads came from 3m 9672LE double sided contact tape , sticks like s#$* to a blanket, and marine grade too.

good luck!

anybody ever try that E-6000 adhesive ( I think it's a Shoe Goo product) Supposed to be very high strength with an extremely wide range of materials it can adhere together.

I've been using Ados F2 glue for many years,you need to remove any wax and lightly sand the area first it works really well.

I've tried it, but not for my board...

Smells good!

Got another vote of confidence for the Scotch 90 spray adhesive from Joe Taylor the other day and I think Buddy uses it occasionally as well, I highly trust those recommendations but I had been trying to avoid it due to the hassle of managing the overspray
