Brake Pedal Glue

[SLOBuds]

I've tried 3 different glues trying to get the rubber cover to stick to my brake pedal. The rubber pad which sets on top of the metal pedal.

Anyone have luck with a particular product?

This is the right brake pedal. The left brake pedal has no issue with sticking. The clutch has no issue. Only one with issue is ME!

Thanks.

Try spilling some coke on it an let it dry. Everything sticks to that especially when you don't want it to.
Seriously though, have you used silicone sealer? Clean pedal with metal brush on angle grinder and spread a thin film on it. Let it dry very slightly and stick the (clean) rubber to it. That might work.

Clean the area with alcohol, let dry and use 3M Super Weatherstrip Adhesive... (the yellow glue)

It is one of the greatest general purpose adhesives for many things and it makes me look good on the job a least a couple of times a week...

Gorilla Glue. Sticks anything together.

Yeah, Gorilla Glue is readily available and should work pretty good. I use a polyurethane adhesive on EVERYTHING and am always happy. Urethane and polyurethane adhesives are a big improvement (IMO) over silicone based adhesives.

 

[ELMO67]

One source for polyurethane in a caulk tube is PL adhesives, it comes in black, white, or grey and is used for roof flashing, caulking around windows, or al. siding.

I would try "Goop" It's strong and flexible. You could make a brake pedal pad out of that stuff.
I've alos heard Gorilla Glue is good.

I've used contact cement in some exterior applicatipns with good success.

I will second contact cement, follow the directions, and it will bond correctly.

goup is good close it up before it skins over less than 1 min but tough stuff.

Gorilla glue is good stuff. The weatherstrip adhesive is good stuff. Another tough glue that'll hold about anything is good ol' Liquid Nails. Just try to get that stuff OFF of anything you accidentally get it on.

In 1982, while I was still racing dirt bikes in my spare time, I bought my very first water cooled 2-stroke bike, a CR250 Honda. Not long after I bought it, I crashed a radiator into a rock. (I hit the ground a LOT) I punched a hole in the radiator just before leaving for a race. Since the water cooled Hondas were so new, a replacement radiator was not to be had for a few days. I couldn't wait, so I put a big glob of Liquid Nails all over the damaged area and let it dry overnight. 2 days later, I rode a 2 hour long National Hare Scrambles event with not the first sign of a leak. It held so well I never replaced the radiator. After the season ended, I sold the bike to a friend who STILL has it. The patched up radiator is STILL on the bike.

I often tought the Liquid Nails folks should have featured me in an add campaign!

Gorilla snot! Yea, that'll work. If you think you'll get messy with it, it also comes in black. Look for it in your local auto parts store. Comes in a tube (like toothpaste).

3m weather strip adhesive is contact cement, it is made specifically for this purpose, and is the best thing to use for bonding rubber to metal.

As Elmo67 said " PL Adhesive" I use it on everything, Never had it fail.

That is the best stuff I've ever found for pedal pads and also for knobs.

Sikaflex is a polyurethane caulk and will stick anything to anything. It's found in the masonry section of Home Depot. The PL brand stuff works well too and is in the caulk section of HD.
