Go down to your local Bunnings and ask for a grip of Tarzans Tube

No, no, not superglue. The pad is then impossible to remove, it rips and leaves a superglue and pad remnant that you need a fcuking chisel, I kid you not, to remove, said chisel also taking gouges out of your glass deck. A grinding pad may be a better option, but jesus, just don't do it.fongss wrote:Super glue

Selleys quick grip (used for shoe repairs) and Tarzans Grip both work fine. 2 part epoxys such as araldite are, fiddly, messy and wasteful.

Ha. Ironically I noticed a corner of my deck pad was lifting this morning. I pushed it down and it seemed to stick, but while surfing was considering what to use to stick it down... you guessed it, super glue! Quick, permanent and easy.fongss wrote:He asked about the best to stick it down with....not easiest to get off.Cranked wrote:No, no, not superglue.

You make my point for me!

Thanks guys.
Yes, my intention/assumption was probably to be able to remove it one day if need be (unlikely).
I guess Contact Adhesive would most closely resemble the original adhesive of the pad anyway.
Everyone's definitely in agreement as to what will keep that sucker down though.
