Muel Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 I need a quick answer as I wanted to ride today, so any help is appreciated!I got my new Heatsink yellows and tried glueing them into my Phat backings with super glue, it hasn't worked at all! I cleaned the backings first, the glue stuck to the pads but no to the backings, as soon as I put any weigh backwards it pulled them straight out.What glue should I use? I used loads of super glue, all the way around the edges of the material. I thought about shot-blasting the inside of the backings? If I use a really fine shot, it won't take too much material off, just clean it and roughen the surface.I have Areldite? Would that be better?

Muel Posted April 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 Thats a good point, I didn't clamp them in or anything.Right, I get my Dad to shotblast the backings, sand/file all the superglue and shite off the pads, cover them in superglue and stick them in the vice. Hopefully they'll takeThanks for the tips guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron.Tottman Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 Imo, dont smother it, just put it abit here and there like recommended.don't use too much. put presure on the pad, bit of paper and a book ontop of it or something.needs at leased an half hour to set properly.

trialschallenger Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 or have you tried impact adhesive? better than super glue spray one end with the solution then put the glue type stuff on the other bit and i think its an almost instant stick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 I normally pop a couple of drops in, whack it in a vice for 2 mins and jobs a good'un.having a bead blasted finish REALLY helps though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted April 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 Nope, I do have some stuff called Impact but it's in one tube.I reckon I just need to clean the backings properly, I did wipe them over but any dirt or grease may have stopped it working properly.
