Bonding agent for my Weatherby recoil pad

[International Harvester]

My recently acquired Japanese Weatherby Mark V has a SMALL TEAR in the rubber recoil pad. I'd like to bond it before a piece of the material rips off. I thought I'd ask if anyone has a recommended bonding agent for rubber before I put crazy glue on it. I thought crazy glue might make it hard and brittle.

Ted........aka Why Not .......... made his own recoil pads with flippy floppies.
Maybe he could chime in with the liquid fastener that he used?

The PU (polyurethane) glue that most dive shops sell for neoprene suit repairs should give a very strong, permanent repair.

Thanks Roalco I'll look into that.

Not sure if this will work, but what about SHOE GOO?

That Shoe Goo looks good too. I haven't seen it stores for years though....

I bought some recently at Canadian Tire in the glue section. Should work great on a recoil pad.

Urathane, would be my first choice, take your pad to any auto glass repair place and ask for a drop, or buy a tube. It is used for installing the windows in cars. It remains flexible through out the temp ranges and is black. Just clean the pad with alcohol first.

Kamlooky buys it all up and sniffs it. That's why his grammer is a such.

I've tried shoe goo before, results were poor. It did not hold up well at all

I was thinking NP1 sealant might work as well.

epoxy is your friend. There's that are rifle bedding compounds that are epoxy, marine epoxies etc any 2 part epoxy will do you. As with any gluing prep is paramount.

3M Scotch Grip 4799 Industrial Adhesive hands down fer any rubber, be it of hard or soft density. It's black to boot and stays pliable. Acklands has it.

My recoil pad is a Weatherby patent version from the mid seventies which is light brown. Ideally I'd like a clear product.

Any of the Goop products should work fine. I use the marine version all the time but have never tried it on a recoil pad. It stays very flexible, just use it very sparingly. Crazy glues, epoxies and polyurethanes all go hard and brittle and wouldn't work well in your application.
