Bazza12 Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Which is the best glue for new pads& dampers to leather lever grommets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex_holden Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Personally I use hot rabbit skin glue, mixed quite thick. I put some glue on the samper/damper, push the button, move the pad into position, then release the button and let the spring hold the grommet down while the glue dries.

Bazza12 Posted August 15, 2019 Author Share Posted August 15, 2019 Thanks Alex. Is that a flexible glue or does it set hard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's slightly flexible, but in this application the compliance in the joint mainly comes from the soft leather the samper is made from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d.elliott Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 as pads, their dots (sempers) and the leather end of arm beads (grommets) are all throw away items ,I use what Steve Dickinson advised me, white PVA glue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazza12 Posted August 18, 2019 Author Share Posted August 18, 2019 Thanks Dave. I have all ready bought Alex's suggestion of rabbitskin glue. The grommets are in not bad condition considering their age, so I will be leaving them in situ. Regards Baz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
