Title: Eva to Eva Adhesive
Post by: edgarz on September 14, 2017, 06:36:03 AM
Hello everyone. I need to attach a piece of eva foam to my existing eva grip handle. What is the best adhesive to use? Thanks in advance for any input.

I usually use Elmers Rubber Cement:

Thanks Tiddlebasher. Is it a clear finish or black in color? I'll have to check if it's available locally.

Clear finish. Should you need to swap out your eva handle Elmers allows you to remove it without any damage. If your putting eva over eva and want a strong bond apply the glue to both surfaces and bond while wet. Excess glue can be rubbed off with your fingers.
