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? -- Take the dog out to email |

Provided there isn't too much "peeling" force on it I would expect an "evostik" type product to work, or possibly superglue. |

It still starts peeling away after a few weeks' though. Nick |

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? Nick |

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. -- Tim Lamb |

But lurking shoe goo has probably dried out a bit and acquired the viscosity of chewing gum, so more difficult to squeeze flat nicely. |

I'd try some Seriously strong stuff ultimate adhesive. Have used it for a few things and it was impressive. Example, sticking rearview mirror onto screen in car. Lasted longer than the original - at least until we disposed of the car. At least as good as the purpose-sold stuff. Only downside was slower at setting in winter. Advantage of being cheaper - well, when you take into account amount. |
