Sprint15 rubber rudder stop

Post by Chris »

Hi there does anyone know which glue to use to stick the rubber stops on with?

I have tried epoxy that lasted about 10 minutes. :cry:

How about evostick.

Thanks Chris

Hi Chris,

I have done about 20 rudders with evostik, it seems to last for a year or two - I check them each winter and reglue if necessary (I use quite firm neoprene gasket material rather than rubber. On a few I have had to use a double layer to get it so the blade does not move fore/aft but latches in nicely.

Do glue it on so that the rubber is a little proud of the bottom of the A frame - it is the bottom metal edge that does the damage to the blade.

Waterproof Superglue? I think Brian uses that. Waiting to see if it lasts on mine.
