My mobile phone has a "rubber" casing fixed to its plastic body, which
is coming unstuck. The internet says (so it must be true) that the
casing is TPE. I say that Evostik doesn't adhere to it. Has anyone
succesfully glued TPE onto a rigid substrate? With what?

The best results I've had (camera grip) have been with double-sided
adhesive tape. It still starts peeling away after a few weeks' though.

Cancel that.

The grip came off (again)
I double-sided taped it (again) and it fell off right away.
I cleaned it and degreased it and used "real" Evostik and..
...it fell off right away.
Aww... Who needs a rubber grip on a camera anyway?


You could try polyurethane wood glue. Gluing up a door frame yesterday,
some dripped onto my cheap plastic *gumboots* There's a word from the
past:-)
This morning I tried to peel it off and found it well stuck. In the
past, I have tried repairing these boots as they crack at the flexure
points after 12 months daily use. Hot melt, tyre cement etc. simply peel
off.
