  • Almost anything is better than hot glue. Contact adhesive, or epoxy (preferably a flexible one) would work. As with any adhesive bond, surface preparation is key. make sure the surfaces are roughed up a bit to give more surface area for the glue to grab on to, and make sure everything properly clean and dust free.

    I was thinking of buying something recommended by EasyComposites, because they seem to have lots of specialist knowledge. How about this Permabond flexible epoxy? Is it better than the stuff in DIY shops? https://www.easycomposites.co.uk/semi-flexible-15min-epoxy-adhesive Perhaps I could build up a sandwich of glue alternating with bits of tyre?

  • You'd need to be happy that the flexible epoxy adheres well to rubber. It may well do, but it's the sort of assumption that could bite you in the ass.

  • What do cobblers use? It looks like contact adhesive to me.
