joe b Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 Hey, i'll be acquiring a pair of Heatsink CNC backings very shortly . But, i need to know what glue i should use to stick my Plazmatic pad material into the CNC backings; should i just use like strong impact adhesive or is that too overkill?Information needed pretty quickly!Thanks in advance,Joe.

Egg Fried Rice Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 I didnt use any glue with mine lol its fit tightly into the spaces and its still running well.But use superglue as your taking it off one backing to another?JK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 I also never used superglue in mine, didn't see the need. Never had a pad fall out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strelly Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 (edited) hey, epoxy resin would be a good choice i reckon, but bear in mind to mix it properly before putting it on.Also look for polyester resin or araldite... all these glues are fundementally the same.Also make sure to clean and rough (with sandpaper) each bonding edge to maximise cohesion!hope this helps Edited May 11, 2007 by strelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben@LeicesterTrials Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 I used Locktite, But just warning you getting the plaz out the backings can f**k the material up, how you gonna be getting the plaz material out the backing? i done it in the oven and it f**ked them up completely, tried the hot water 1 and it was shit and didn't even work ...

Waddy Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 cyano acrilate (super glue ) epoxy resin will hold the pads in, but dosnt actually stick to the pad material, it just peels off, where as superglue will stick to both surfaces Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muel Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 Sorry for hijacking the thread here, but does anyone know where I could get the rubber used in some pads? Like Ali C joypads for instance, I fancy having a set of cnc backings and then I could make up new pads whenever I needed them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatsink Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 Sorry for hijacking the thread here, but does anyone know where I could get the rubber used in some pads? Like Ali C joypads for instance, I fancy having a set of cnc backings and then I could make up new pads whenever I needed them.I use superglue for new Heatsink CNCed backings sold with hand-cut (Coust or Heatsink) pads. Like people have said, some don't even bother with glue. With the CNCed alu backings the pads can be cut with a very tight fit with none of the bowing that this would cause plastic pads. I press new pads into the backings using a vice and hold them whilst the superglue is going off. Since there is such a close fit, the thin superglue is ideal and the associated speedy curing time is also ideal for production and also convenient when you want to get out and ride quickly!Epoxy Resin glues (2 part) are a perfectly good alternative, but they take longer to set. The longer curing ones are indeed stronger It's a thicker glue so suits bigger gaps. Perfect if your pads could do with space filling (Maybe some fragments are left in the plastic backings you extracted them from).I'm long overdue adding some photos to my site showing how to transplant pads and fit them. It's on the to do list!Also, selling backings with no pads would be a good alternative I think.Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walleee Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 another vote for glueless coust pad's in aluminium backing's. Glue just isn't nescessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe b Posted May 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 Hahaha, this was like a Chemistry lesson for me (joke - i'm not really a retard).Thanks for the help anyway guy's.The pad's fit quite securely in on their own but i just used some super glue and wacked 'em in the vice for about 10 minutes . I managed to melt my Plazmatic's in the oven too . My brakes working pretty well, though, so im a happy bunny!Cheers,Joe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanie-b Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 Also, selling backings with no pads would be a good alternative I think.I agree with that Steve. If that goes ahead I'll have a pair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stick them in the oven and keep trying to get them out every 3-4 minutes while they are heating up. Should be able to pop them out easy enough and not affect the pad material.Be careful with the rimjam backing though, plastic ones get hot, metal ones really hurt!
