Steve Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 I'm clutching at straws here, but I was wondering if anyone knows of a glue that will stick rubber to aluminium. It needs to be relatively odour free too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Deeswift Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 What is it you're wanting to stick? If it's nothing too heavy, PVA (AKA UniBond) might do it. Just trying to think of something odour-free and that's all I can come up with. PVA is suprisingly strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted December 21, 2004 Author Share Posted December 21, 2004 Well tomorrow, me and a mate have to remove all these rubber grip strips from a set of staircases and stick them down again. At the moment, the glue that's on them isn't sticky at all - they just slide left and right cos the glue doesn't stick to the aluminium. It needs to be odour free cos the staircases will be in use all day and it's a health and safety issue. It's a pain in the fucking arse to be honest!

Guest loop skywalker Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 sounds like a fooking ball ache. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Deeswift Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 I'd ask in a hardware store or something. I've used rubber and aluminimu in a few building projects before but never stuck them to each other. I reckon Unibond might do the job though.

Steve Posted December 21, 2004 Author Share Posted December 21, 2004 It is to be honest, but it's worth a lot of cash if we can do it right (although more for my mate than me :angry:). We tested a couple of adhesives today, but they stank to high heaven and wouldn't set right. I'll pass your suggestions on to my mate in the morning. Cheers doods.

Liam Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 Araldyte (sp?) is probabbly your man, Benton used to use it all the time to adhere plastic onto his aluminium cases Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staxman Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 i used to do that for a job, we used to make the ruber inserts, when we were sticking rubber to ali or brass we used this double sided stickey tape, we never used glue, always double sided stickey tape Well tomorrow, me and a mate have to remove all these rubber grip strips from a set of staircases and stick them down again. At the moment, the glue that's on them isn't sticky at all - they just slide left and right cos the glue doesn't stick to the aluminium.

Sideshow Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 was that job on blue peter?sound advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 Actually Stax may have a good point here. My father has some bastard strong double sided tape, I used it when the rear-veiw mirror came loose on an old Golf I used to rag. It wasn't like tape, more like a roll of silicone gum -like covermount CD glue, but much, much stronger. If it wasn't so cold I'd head down the garden to the garage and see if I can find out what it was called (I'm staying with my folks at the mo) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
