The glue/material they stick rubber laptop feet/details with?

Usually rubber feet and generally rubbery details are stuck with a layer of something like resin that sticks on both sides...

What is it and where can one buy such??

I have an old laptop I am trying to reattach one of the rubbery feet to, I tried probably 5 different types of glue as well as liquid plastic - nothing works for longer than a few days or weeks. The glue just doesn't stick to the rubber

What could I use instead?? And where is this sticky material to buy from and how is it cold?

 

Normally rubber feet come preapplied with some sort of adhesive. Maybe try ordering some new rubber feet, they aren't awfully expensive.

Have you tried Gorilla Glue?

 

This is exactly what I am asking - what is this adhesive... it is like resin.

Try finding new feet for a 5 years old Fujitsu And I still feel stupid giving money for something I already have - just need to stick it back so that it doesn't fall.

No, never heard of "Gorilla Glue".
Tried 4-5 types of glue, even such from 2 components - sticks really good to the laptop body, but not to the rubber or at least not for long

 

thin double sided sticky tape

I just use 3M stuff

 

anything specific as a product? I doubt a "normal" double-sided tape would hold...

 

3M publishes their applications guides on the net. The stuff I buy is from a local auto parts store. Costs about $2- for a 3 meter roll.0

 

Or get some balls. Comes with some sticky pads too.

I'll second the Gorilla Glue.

 

The adhesive which is used to attach iPhone digitizers to the midframe is similar


You could easily cut it to size, and IMO it seems the same as what OEMs use in the first place.
I've used it multiple times for repairs and the like.
Give it a shot, I'm sure you could find some for about a dollar on ebay.

 

I see no usage of those, only disadvantages. Look horrible

Ok, thanks a lot, will try to find that. If it is in fact something similar or the same there is always a need Thanks!

 

Well there are 13 pages of users who find it great for ventilating your laptop on a flat surface...

 

Obviously 13 pages of users with heat-problems...

I see absolutely no use of those.

But thanks for the suggestion anyway

 

Rubber Cement, Hot Glue, Liquid Nails

Lots of stuff would work to attach rubber feet.

As for the "cool balls" I like them, not for cooling my laptop but for being the most light weight, portable, and cheapest tilt mechanism for a laptop.

It effectively replaced my Zalman cooler that I used only for that ergonomic tilt.

They velcro on so you dont have to have them permanently attached or anything.

 

An acceptable replacement might be double-sided carpet tape, I think, although I think the stock stuff isn't quite as mercilessly sticky. You can glue it permanently, but many laptops have screws under the feet (making DIY work a pain), so permanently gluing might not be an option.

 

No idea if this is available in your country:
Pattex Kraftkleber Transparent - Pattex Produktsortiment - Pattex

I do want to glue it pemanently - no screws underneath! The problem is I think this was my 7th attempt - any glue sticks perfectly to the plastic, but the rubber comes out a few days later as if it was oiled No idea what kind of freaking rubber that is, but nothing seems to be able to hold it and stick to it

Yes it is,thanks, I'll give it a try, but I'm quite skeptic Anything special about it or is it just strong?

 

If you want to make a better grip, you might want to rough up the rubber before you try to glue it, possibly with sandpaper or something else that can texture the rubber without making it disintegrate.

 

I'd honestly go for some 3M double-sided tape first. That stuff is surprisingly strong, and it's very similar to the stuff they use to stick it initially. Some of these superglues and such that have been mentioned have the unfortunate side-effect of melting through plastic due to their acetone and other ingredients, as well as making it impossible to replace the rubber feet if they should start wearing out at all.
