troopermaster Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Superglue is the best thing to stick latex plates to rubber gloves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD-4510 Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Just make sure that you sand the backs of the hand guards with 60 to 80 grit sand paper and the CA glue will work great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-BONE Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 I couldn't get my rubber handguards to stick to my gloves. I ended up using clear silicone. Worked great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troopermaster Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 I would bet your hand plates are made from silicone - not latex. I know Karin makes them from both latex and silicone, so you will have to find out which yours are made from to determine the best adhesive.

TD-4510 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 If you follow the directions attached to the envelope that the hand guards come in you will have no problems. Here are the directions: How to attach flexible hand guards to latex gloves Clean the backs of the hand guards and the glove surface with rubbing alcohol and a cloth towel. Then, sand the backs of the hand guards with 60 grit sand paper so that there is a rough surface for the glue to bond to. Apply "Zap a Gap" super glue or equivalant to the backs of the hand guards and press them onto the rubber gloves. Let the gloves cure for at least 30 minutes. They will then be on the gloves permanently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandman Tigui Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 My five cents after what Mike has advised is letting the bond cure and then flex the attached hand guards little by little to inspect if some gaps got unglued. If so minor gluing and pressing will do the rest of the job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
