Harris bipod pads

[Mike_R]

My first attempt at a krylon camo job ended badly so I stripped everything with brake cleaner... and the rubber pads that go between the bipod and the stock came right off with the paint. I think the brake cleaner ate the adhesive.
Anyone have this happen?
More importantly what should I use to get them glued back on?
Any advice would be appreciated.
So far I thought of using super glue, or 3m spray adhesive, but there is probably something better for the job.

Gorilla crazy glue?

Girrilla type glue works. JB Weld fixes just about anything.

RTV will do just fine, I use it to do the samething on rubber pad on Boeing 737's

Yup, black rtv and let it dry for a day before you screw the bipod back on.

Thank you everyone!
I think I'll try the RTV. Ive used gorilla glue on other products and haven't had great luck with bonding very smooth things with it. I have a bunch of RTV from automotive projects so I'll use that.

I'd go RTV or epoxy personally. Gorilla glue and I never got along...

3M spray adhesive is what I'd use. Spray both parts with two light coats, let it tack up before spraying the second, and let the second tack up before sticking the pieces together.

Trust me, it won't peel off.....

Next time wait for the stock paint to FULLY cure before attaching the bipod back on.

I have to do some gluing in my line of work so I use this A LOT. It works real well and can be used on just about any surface.

Plastic Steel is what I used 4 years ago, hasn't come off since.

There was a time 3M only made the yellow stuff. We called it gorilla snot because when it got on your hand you couldn't get it off.

+1 on the gorilla snot. Only thing is it seems to have an affinity for things you would prefer it didn't stick to. The black color is an improvement at least it's not as noticeable as the original florescent green stuff.
