20 Best Adhesive To Attach Rubber To Metal (2023 Updated)

This flexible adhesive is useful for almost any job around the house. It stays flexible for years. I always keep a tube around.

works great! I use it for jewelry, crafts & heavy objects. So far so issues, but do recommend checking your crafts stores for it. Must cheaper I learned, bought on amazon small bottles. Then bought on her thinking for the big one was a great deal.

Then later on learned that it was half the price in my local craft store. O well, still a great product to use over hot glue gun n super glue!.

I needed to repair a pair of flip-flops made of rubber (Havaianas). I tried two other kinds of “super glue” but they would not work. Then I tried this Loctite Ultra Gel and it worked perfectly! The consistency is thick so it doesn’t run.

Combined with the design of the bottle (it’s made to easily squeeze the sides), it’s very easy to control both the amount used and placement on the items to be glued. It doesn’t dry instantly, so you have a few seconds to reposition whatever you’re gluing.

Once the pieces are connected though, it does adhere quickly. Great product, highly recommend it!.

Superglue just got it’s cape!!! First, it’s a gel which doesn’t run. Gives you better control. It has a rubber toughened formula which makes a great seal that holds great. It does take about 5 minutes to set so you have a little time to get item positioned.

( full cure takes 12-24 hours). Now here’s where it marvels. You actually have to squeeze the blue levers on side of bottle to dispense. This makes it easier to control, easier to dispense a drop or a blob.

And easier to stop dispensing. Then… it self closes nozzle when blue levers are release so it doesn’t dry out as quick!! Excellent improvement! It’s about time! Finally the super glue has its cape! Bravo!.

This is the only super glue I use, it works great for most projects. I primarily use this super glue for rhinestones on masks. (So I’ve been buying it for 2 years now. ) I wash the masks in the washer and it takes several washes before I ever see a rhinestone come off.

The glue isn’t stringy at all, which is hard to find in super glues. I went through several brands of super glues before finding the best, Loctite Ultra Gel Control Super Glue!.

These are expired. You have to zoom in on the bag to see because it does not say it anywhere on the post. A lot of time and money wasted, they need to clearly state the material is expired. The bottles we received expired 5/20.

If you dont know this, they do have a shelf life and after a certain point do not work. I do give them credit for taking care of the return promptly, but be clear what you are selling.

We are a manufacturer of linear lighting. We have found this glue to be the best for our application. We use it to adhere the LED strips to an aluminum grid, that replaces the grid between the panels in a suspended ceiling.

It is consistent with varying temperature fluctuations and the smaller bottles are easy to work with for our application.

I bought this glue ( for the first time ) about 30 years ago. I have yet to find anything else that can compare to it. Its reliability in strength and drying time is un paralelled.

I will continue to buy this product. Glue works holds very well and the container is reusable. You can use alot or very little. Good product for your money.

Good cap and dispenser, great product works every time!

BEST GLUE EVER! I work with miniatures and can get it in small tubes with small openings. Dries clear and holds incredibly! I always have this glue on hand. Thank you!

My need for super glue is infrequent so I find it dried up and unusual and need to go purchase a new tube. This small, one time use is perfect and means I always have usable super glue on hand.

I have not used this brand of super glue. l have used super glue for years and am sure this brand is good as well.

This is a good product for miscellaneous construction projects or repair jobs. I used this in a few applications and while it works very well compared to others on the market there are some that are better depending on what you are using this for.

while the info commercial shows the instant gripping a brick to another brick that is not entirely accurate. They use excessive amounts and also don’t hold it up for very long. The instructions clearly state you need to apply pressure for about 30 seconds.

It will hold decent if you hold for 30 seconds or longer or in some cases temporary bracing. I used this to glue wood to the wall for making shelves and if you do not hold for 30 plus seconds it will sag of fall off.

I also used outside to fix a veneer stone that was falling off outdoors and it works very well. Overall its a pretty good product and fairly pleased in the application I used it for. If you base it solely of the commercial it may not live up to your full expectation but it is darn close.

So far this is the only thing that Ive found to be acceptable for glueing RubberCal X-Derm rubber sheet to aluminum. 3M 77 spray hasnt worked too well and came loose. The X-Derm is made of recycled tires.

I think this is called SBR rubber and nothing seems to stick to it very well but the 3M 1300 works fairly well, following the directions and allowing plenty of time for drying (24+ hours) with firm pressure.

I used this product to install new rubber tires on a woodworking bandsaw. This is the second time I have done this procedure on this saw. The first set of tires I replaced lasted 18 years of daily use in a cabinet shop.

The tire supplier recommended an epoxy for the larger sized tires that I installed. (30″) So I ordered the epoxy from them along with the tires. The epoxy lasted about a week before letting one of the tires come off.

I ordered this glue to replace the epoxy because I know that I can count on it to do the job.

The weather stripping of my car came loose and proved impossible to find at a reasonable price without buying another weather stripping. This stuff did a terrific job securing the rubber weather stripping to the metal inside my car door.

It has made it through heat and cold, and saved me quite a bit of money and hassle. Just be deliberate with it, because it’s going to stick to whatever it touches.

That glue held. It’s just too bad the plastic broke again in a different place than I had glued…lol

It is as strong as it claims.

Years ago I brought some athletic shoes to a shoe repair shop because some rubber was loose on the soles, even though the uppers were in excellent condition. They wanted $10 or $15 to fix it, which I thought was not worth the value of the shoes, but they offered to sell me a tube of the Barge glue they used for less money.

Since then I have rescued several athletic shoes where the rubber was loosening with my one tube of Barge. These repairs have lasted. Now I purchased a second tube of Barge to continue saving my shoes.

This is the stuff all the shoe repair shops use!.

Great on leather and Cordura. I use it often for these items for repair, modifications and making things as a hobby. Also good for repairing shoes and bags. “Barge” is my go-to product. The big thing is, slather it on carefully to the items you want to adhere or connect, then wait about 20 minutes before you stick things together.

Clamp it lightly if you can overnight for best results. I wish it came in a little bit larger container that was a bottle with a brush, without having to buy an industrial quart of it.

So far so good in its use to repair a pair of Keen sandals that had the sole separate from the upper. This product was recommended by the manufacturer to handle this issue. Product was easy to apply and seemed to properly adhere to sandal using provided instructions.

I just cannot go to five stars yet unless I had knowledge that repair would last for an extended time. I just do not have that information yet. Thank you for the quick handling and shipping on this item.

We love using Gorilla Rubber Cement for our photo collages and our school projects. This is easy for the kids to use and if they make a mistake, this can easily be peeled off or removed. I really like that this is non-yellowing and doesn’t bleed through photos and dries crystal clear.

When closed, it seals airtight so it doesn’t dry out and can be used until it is gone. The brush makes it so easy to apply and is non-wrinkling. We always have a couple of jars handy for projects. Great product!!.

The glue works well for getting pictures to stick, but it doesn’t dry very quickly and can get messy. If you over apply it, you have a mess. That’s easy to do with the brush applicator. Since the brush is attached to the lid, you got a lot of the glue on there and you really have nothing to scrape it off onto except for the edge of the bottle.

if you scrape it there, then you’re going to have a mess where are you screw on the lid. So things are going to get messy with this. It works, but it just takes a long time to dry and can get messy.

I got a new rubber/foam hood liner for underneath the hood of my car and the mfg of the liner recommended using this adhesive to install it. I followed the instructions and it seemed to work great. After 15 minutes, the liner seemed to be adhered perfectly.

2 weeks later, the liner fell off. I don’t know what to do now.

This was the only stuff that worked gluing these two together.

This has been my go to glue for years now. It is super glue, so anyone using it needs to be as careful as with any other super glue. It dried very fast and very permanently. However the gel control aspect of this one makes it far easier than most super glues to control placement and amount.

I use this on wood, metal, plastic, fabric, ceramic, literally everything. Smooth or porous surface both work fine. A little goes a long way. The one issue is actually a pro and con. The tabs on the side used to squeeze out the glue are great for controlling the glue, however when you get about half way down on glue level, they start to become hard to squeeze.

I actually use a pair of pliers to squeeze them so that I get all the glue out of the bottle. The propack price at Michaels is a really good deal compared to other buying options, so if you need more than a single bottle this is the way to go.

It takes a little time to figure out the right amount of glue, drying time, controlling the bottle for placement, but once you do, this is the one.

This glue bonds very well, just be aware of what type material your bonding. It is excellent if i. e. bonding a stone or crystal to metal, some materials i. e. some leathers, small car repairs. I found it does not work great on some ribbons, not all card stock or paper.

A little goes very far and bonds tight. Be careful it will bond your fingers!!, Not very easily washed off so work careful. The pointed nozzle allows you to target your area. I as well learned the first time that there is not much in the bottle, so I only use it when I know I need a very strong bond keeping in mind the type material.

It does not require much , a small dot will give a strong bond. I learned about this glue from seeing crafting shows and was amazed at the little tiny amount they would use. I have been using this glue for about two years now, it usually bonds quickly, unless your attempting to bond something resistant.

If the material seems resistant I will just apply the glue and use something metal to hold in place a few extra seconds until it bonds.

I tried this on a plastic washing basket and on a handle. Tried 3 times and even clamped the jobs on my third attempt It stuck well to my fingers but didnt even look like sticking to anything else. I rated 1 because there is no zero.

Both exactly what I needed. Mesh was invaluable for out west where flies were dense.

Great prod., very strong adhesion

You can comfortably on this tube. Very reasonable for its versatility of application and ease of use. Always wear surgical gloves so you maintain the feel you need with finger protection.

This contact cement is one of the best around. It lasts long and it is a pleasure to spread. I have tried other contact cents, such as Elmer’s, Super Glue, Gorilla Glue, to name a few, and I prefer this one.

Terrific bonding on any surface or material. Thank you.

Do not purchase – buy anything else. You well get better bonding from elmers glue, or even an elementary school gluestick. The strength of the adhesive is laughable, and on the bottle it says cure in 10-45 seconds which is totally inaccurate.

At best it STARTS to cure in 10-45 minutes, but will still be gummy and without structure for two or more hours. I bought it thinking it would be of similar quality to regular gorilla glue used in woodworking – but their superglue must have been designed by someone’s toddler.

So, Gorilla Glue. I knew this would be strong as the name carries weight. What I didnt know, however, was quite how strong it was. I originally bought this to fix my shoes, the sole had come away from one of them.

Little did I realise that later on, hilarity would ensue. Left out in the open, my housemates took it upon themselves to dispose of an old pan by gluing it to a door. We knew itd hold well but this pan DOES NOT BUDGE.

It is fixed there, like a singular point in time. Unmoving. Eternal. Gorilla Glue is fantastic. Everyone should buy some just to have it around.

It takes very long to even start being sticky. Count at least 2-3 hours so you need to hold the two parts together somehow. I suggest applying the glue on both parts, wait 2-3 hours until it becomes sticky, then put the two parts together.

Good points : it doesn’t smell. On the bottle it says it will stain your skin and also will increase in volume 2-3 times as it dries up. Bottle also suggests humidifying the surfaces, water activates this glue.

Wipe off the tip of the bottle before putting the cap back, otherwise glue will harden inside the cap and next time you won’t be able to fit back the cap and the bottle will harden inside. Strength rating : 6/10 where 10/10 is for cyanoacrylate glue.

So be prepared… once set this stuff has an incredible bond. I used it on my kitchen chairs. The spindles on the chairs were loose and I used just a small amount in the crevice because this stuff expands.

I have to say they are still holding and not spinning. I also used it to fix the corner of my home which is a cement material. The corner cracked and fell off and I’m grateful I saved the piece. I sprayed it with water and applied the glue and that too is still in place.

This glue is waterproof and can be used on many surfaces. I would definitely recommend it to a friend.

I used this glue one time. It did do the job, but. Once dried, the glue tripled in size. The small line of glue was no more. A yellow thick glass like coat covered my surface. Then after about three weeks.

After storing the glue properly. I went to use it again. And. It was hard as a brick!!! Could no longer use it!! So if you want to use this glue ONE time this is for you!!.

I dunno. It’s glue. It makes stuff stick together satisfactorily. Don’t sniff it, because you might glue your nostrils together. Last week, I used it to glue a torn toenail back into place, so if you like to do household chores barefoot and you’re a klutz, this is the glue for you.

Related to that, it withstands nail polish remover, so you can redo your toenails weekly with a new pretty color and pretend that you don’t try to demolish your nails with various household objects.

I should have listened to the poor reviews on this product. DOES NOT STICK. Useless. I even used a dremel to roughen both surfaces, and it still didn’t stick. Wait time was long enough, too. Don’t buy this.

Bought in-store. Works perfectly, and much better than Gorilla Glue. For one, Gorilla expands when dried, which leaves an ugly residue, and two, bond isn’t instantaneous; with Crazy, you need only to apply pressure for less than 30 seconds, and you have a bond that’s as advertised.

A must for hobbyist who put together models.

This glue is awesome. but very dangerous in the hands of a little one. Super fast drying and hardens like a rock after adding additive. But be aware this will this weld your finger together in less than a second.

If not properly used.

I have something similar to this at work and needed some superglue around my house. I tried hot glue for many projects but it doesn’t hold as well. You don’t really need the spray applicator but it does increase drying time.

For me it bonded cloth, rubber, metal and wood. I’m sure it can bond almost anything.

BEST PRODUCT EVER. FORGET CRAZY GLUE OR GORILLA GLUE. THIS 3M IS SO STRONG
