What will stick leather to plastic?
« on: 22 February 2015, 20:31:40 »
I bought a new leather handbrake gaiter and need to attach it to the plastic frame - the original one was stapled on but I don't have anything that's powerful enough to put the new one on like that so was thinking best to glue it on somehow.

Anyone done this?

Think I may have some bostik impact adhesive kicking about, would that work?

Yes that was going to be my suggestion. As a guess.

I reckon, on your bostik impact adhesive tube, it will say "Sticks leather to metal"  ;D

Tiger Seal & Sikaflex sticks anything to anything  :y :y

Can't you reuse the old staples by using the existing holes in the plastic & making new holes in the leather for the staple to go through?  :-\

TIG/MIG welding wire?  ;) I used some stainless filler wire as staples to re-staple clips to the edge of the Smart's carpet  :y

Said staples don't actually pass through the plastic... They merely locate the gaiter whilst they are heat welded in place...

Good luck making replacement fit...

No, no. This is a technical question, so lets be technically correct. YOU broke the old staples....didn't you? Eh? Eh?

No. It comes in a mastic tube ...... a bit like 'No Nails' ...... they stick all kinds of automotive bits to cars with it these days - rear spoilers etc  :y
