BikeisLife Posted November 22, 2018 Share Need some advice, please I pulled the rubber bits off that protect the chainstay and the downtube from my frame to get painted.On returning, I tried to use contact adhesive to stick them back on, which didn't last too long. Any advice on what else I can try? The frame is carbon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne pudding Mol Posted November 22, 2018 Share Probably obvious but just in case did you put contact on both sides (clean surfaces essential) wait 20 minutes and then bond. I'm not an expert on carbon but work with rubber products and off the shelf contact is very similar to what we use for bonding Eddy Gordo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should also be allowed to dry almost completely before sticking down Skylark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have used it in contexts where absolutely nothing else would bond. Remarkable product. But once its on, its on pretty much forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
