I think you will find today's equivilant would be something like "Selleys Bear Grip" a yellow glue that is applied to both surfaces and left to dry a bit until tacky, then press both pieces together. Now days can be bought in a can and brushed on or I think can even be purchased in a spray can. It is used to glue laminated bench tops together among many other things. Most hardware stores sell It. it is most consistant with the glue used on the production line for FC-FE as far as I know. Brad.

Anyway it is specifically for rubber and it is a clear glue rather than yellow. It also works instantaneously so you do small sections at a time.

Apparently they have been selling this for years now for glueing in rubber kits. Same as using contact adhesive, apply to both sides, wait for it to tack then stick together. I have only done one door so far, but so far, so good. |
