What glue should I use for the Foamy?

[om3n]

So I have a lvl 10 bolt and the foamy needed replacement a few days ago. I removed the old foamy, used a screw driver and some goo-gone and alcohol to remove the old glue, and then tried to use loctite brand super glue to attach a new foamy. However, after I let it dry for a few hours, the foamy just flew out of the barrel after a couple shots. I tried this same procedure 3 times and I cannot get the foamy to stick, and I have wasted 2 foamys doing this.

So my question; what glue do you guys use?

I've been lucky so far with Krazy Glue.

I have tried krazy glue, but I think it's just too brittle.

Right now, I am using a foamie that had some sort of adhesive already on the back, and so far that seems to be working the best.

I think your best bet might be to use some sort of strong rubber cement that will give a little but without breaking the way Krazy glue tends to. First, use acetone to remove the old glue from the bolt (soak the tip of the bolt in it for a while), then rinse and dry the bolt before using the cement.

I have heard good things about gorilla glue

I have heard good things about gorilla glue

Only problem with that is it takes forever to dry.


I'd use JBWeld

Only if you want to make the foamy permanent though :rofl:



Perhaps some kind of spray adhesive? I seem to have good luck with that kind of stuff.

last time I replaced a foamy I used 5min epoxy worked great and it's still there to this day as far as I know. I prepped the tip by just cleaning it with isopropal first.

Ok thanks guys for the replies. I'm gonna try some rubber cement following an acetone prep next... we'll see how that goes.

It's an age old question , I wonder if we will ever find the answer ?

I tried gorilla glue, but it didn't work.

5 minute epoxy works good, but you must let it dry overnight

IC2000, it's a rubberized CA glue.

EASY! do use KRAZY glue, but make sure you buy the ANTI shock glue, its thicker and holds much better! iv put a few on with it for others and they are all still intact after thousands of rounds.

[om3n]

well I bought some elmers rubber cement from the local hardware store, and I'm gonna let it sit over night. tomorrow evening I'm gonna shoot a few rounds through the gun and we'll see what happens... I'll post how it works

You could leave it off too. Mine went bye bye shortly after installing it, and I left it off. Over 15 cases of paint went through that set-up without a problem. No foamie for the win....lol.
