Gettin some used frame pucks today (thanx Rah7777). Does anyone know what type of adhesive is used when they are new? I would think it would be solvent based.... I was either going to use contact cement (which might be a little to strong) or 3M Super 77 Spray Adhesive. |

If I remember correctly it was a two sided tape on them, actually I'm sure it was. Ben |

yeah, and the tube that comes with the new pucks is a frame paint primer which loosens up the frame paint on a molecular level so the puck tape will bond. If yours are used, then the pucks adhesive tape will be corrupted. Don't have a real recommendation, but I'd look for a semi flexible epoxy that can take some heat. I use to sell this stuff: http://www.mrstickys.com but it breaks down before 200*F, and not sure I'd recommend it for the frame, but its worth a try. Also 3M makes a great deal of epoxy adhesives available from McMaster Carr. http://www.mcmaster.com/ |

Did a little diggin' before the last BadWeB brown out and found this: Now this is just a guess, I've never used it, and it will cost you 20 bones from McMaster to experiment yourself. "3M--DP-105 Flexible— Very flexible; ideal for bonding dissimilar surfaces that expand and contract differently. DP-105 1.7 oz. (50 ml) 4-5 min. 48 hrs. Clear 1:1 7467A58 $17.67" This is a duo pack carriage, meaning you will need to use 3M's duopac cartridge gun, OR force equal amounts out of the cartridge with a push stick (screwdriver, etc) on the end plungers. You will then need to thoroughly mix the two beads with a Popsicle stick. I would do one at a time because it looks like you won't get much working time. Working time is decreased with increased temperatures, so make sure your frame, puck, and environment are cool (60*F to room temp should be fine). Let us know if you find an alternative solution. |

The best bet would be to clean off all of the old tape/glue. Get a roll of 3M two sided tape from an automotive body shop supply, auto parts stores likely have small quantity packages. Simple to use, get it all clean, practice align it and mark the location before your put it on, pull off the backing, use your one shot, press it home. |

I was either going to use contact cement (which might be a little to strong) or 3M Super 77 Spray Adhesive. In my experience, 3M Super 77 will not withstand outdoor exposure for long. Double sided tape made for automobile emblems will do the trick nicely. |

You might try 3M Fast Tack Trim Adhesive. We use it to glue tubular bicycle tires to the rim. Very tuff stuff and dries in seconds. Should be able to get at an auto parts store or a body shop. |
