| 1466884 | 2020-02-23 04:18:00 | One of the anti-slip pads has come off my Logitech keyboard, and none of the adhesives I have tried will stick it back on. It is some sort of sponge rubber, and all the what would seem obvious candidates that I have just don't work. Nothing seems to adhere to the spongy rubber. I've tried latex rubber cement, Ados contact adhesive and even PVA - nothing seems to work. Any ideas? |

| 1466886 | 2020-02-23 05:06:00 | The only general purpose glue I bother with is Araldite. Not the 5 min stuff either. One exception, actual PVC, you need a special glue for that stuff - (like water tanks etc). |

| 1466888 | 2020-02-23 06:52:00 | Clean the surfaces of the items to be joined, with double-sided sellotape, using isopropyl alcohol on a cotton bud. allow the alcohol to dry before applying sellotape. You can make new slidey feet for computer mice by cutting the correct shape from a dishwashing liquid plastic bottle, apply the sellotape to the correctly shaped cleaned dried plastic, cut the sellotape to size and apply combination to mouse or whatever. |

| 1466889 | 2020-02-23 07:44:00 | Double sided tape might well do it. I'll certainly give it a go. The main issue I can see is manipulating a 30 x 5mm vaguely oval piece of tape into the right position. Worth a try though. I'll report back. |

| 1466890 | 2020-02-23 17:30:00 | It is what was originally used for most stick on pads. Stick it to the pad first, trim it then before removing the covering of side 2 and then place it in position. Clean all surfaces first as Zwerty advises in post #5 | CliveM (6007) | ||

Clean all surfaces first as Zwerty advises in post #5 I was thinking about it after my last post and realized that is exactly what I have to do. D'oh! Thanks. |

| 1466892 | 2020-02-23 19:43:00 | No wonder it doesn't last then.....tape, double sided or not, loses it's stick after time, the plastic goes brittle too. | piroska (17583) | ||
| 1466893 | 2020-02-23 20:11:00 | All done. I'm slightly embarrassed that I didn't think of the double-sided tape myself. Thanks everyone. |
