Chadd 916 Report post Posted December 2, 2012 One must always be careful with adhesives, solvents, etc. when used on plastics or other chemical-based materials. Always do a test on a small area to see how the item will react. I noticed no ill affects on the 7500 pads and foam. It's worth noting that different helmets will use different materials so always do a test, or if in doubt, do not use it.You can't always see a chemical reaction that results in a weakening of plastic.

Boz 0 Report post Posted December 2, 2012 Noticed you said the "C" word. Ive had more than a couple concussions between football, hockey and the military. Protecting your dome means having good awareness. look at the poor guy we had get beat up at the dodgers game here in L.A. (that parking lot is worse than the L train at night) he got knocked out and was unconscious when he hit the ground. since you are new to the sport the best thing you can do is work on your situational awareness. you gotta see it coming and brace yourself. like Chadd was alluding to you cant see what effect a chemical has on a plastic or foam. hot melt glue is about as inert as it gets because its a plastic. i think for less than 10 bucks you can pick up a glue gun with a couple sticks. stay away from liquid nails and other commercial adhesives they contain solvents(except for small projects blend) and unlike hotmelt cannot be re manipulated without risk of destroying the substrate. we learned this the hard way in the navy. with used some stuff in a can we called donkey C** to attach nvg and distress strobe brackets to our helmets. small impacts like bumping into an aircraft would break the shell. so yeah the very long and short of it is, keep your head on a swivel have fun and give hot melt adhesive a try...

JR Boucicaut 3804 Report post Posted December 2, 2012 Update: After my game today I noticed glue in my hair again :(From the Liquid Nails for Small Projects? Strange - that stuff hardens up and isn't gooey.Now, if the LN worked, take the other pads out and reattach. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MThockeydad 469 Report post Posted February 10, 2015 I put some toilet paper over the Bauer glue to cover the sticky part, and peeled the part that didn't stick. Voila! No more glue in my hair! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hawkeyfan 36 Report post Posted February 10, 2015 I will agree with BOZ...use some hot melt glue....I know they have differing levels of hot melt. I would recommend the type players use to attache a 2 peice blade to a shaft. It holds up well in colder temperatures...Not sure about other glue stick products Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stick9 896 Report post Posted February 11, 2015 I'd be very careful with hot melt. Hot glue could deform the inner she'll, plus it tends to dry rather quickly and may harden to the point of making it uncomfortable.Any home improvement or lumber yard will have LN, or an adequate substitute. You can definitely get it online too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
