Knee puck repair. What glue?

[Tim-That CX Guy]

I got home from a ride today, and the right knee puck pretty much fell off in my hands (separated from the velcro). Left knee puck is not far behind.
The suit is 10 years old (so are the pucks), so I'm not surprised that the glue gave out, but I'm cheap, and I'd rather glue them back on than buy new ones, since the pucks still have plenty of life in them.

So, what glue will stick the puck back on the velcro? Some online reviews say that Gorilla Glue doesn't work, and Super Glue can melt the velcro.
Would a sealant like Lexel work?

Try Shoe-goo...

E6000 has been my go to adhesive for a couple of years now.
When it absolutely has to stick, 3m 5200 or a similar one part polysulfide.

Hot glue gun might work, but if the suit or puck gets hot will fall off again.

Better off buying new.

Try asking a shoe cobbler.

Shoe Goo or Barge Cement. But if original adhesive is breaking down, how brittle are the pucks?

 

[Tim-That CX Guy]

Pucks are fine.
I was thinking about Barge, my sister used it a lot as a costumer.

I just discovered Evo-Stick Impact. Its an instant contact adhesive, so apply to both surfaces, let set up and press together. So far its been pretty amazing.

shoe goo works surprisingly well

I second the E6000! Good stuff! I recommend compressing it with something while the glue cures. Also, use a liberal amount of it too.

This is the correct answer

This is the correct answer

Or buy new, so you have a backup. You'll need new eventually. Then ride with the repaired pucks until they fail again and then grab the new ones.

I wouldn’t ride without Z rated pucks

I'd use shoe good and hit the backing with some staples

Barge Cement, it’s what shoe makers use they don’t use shoe-goo.

I have used E6000 on many projects and it has never failed me. I always have a tube on hand. I have read good things about Barge but never used.

Regardless of what you use, the bond will only be a strong as the weakest link in the material stack. Your pucks failed due to old adhesive. You should remove as much of the old adhesive for best results. Probably easier said then done.

 

[Tim-That CX Guy]

Working on that part.
It came off the pucks easily, the leather & Velcro, I'm just starting to work on.

And before applying new adhesive, make sure all surfaces are as clean as possible. 99% alcohol will usually be the final cleaning material.

Another e6000 fan boy the stuff just works every time.
