What do I attach a recoil pad to a laminate stock with?

[slm9s]

I've got an OLD benchrest rig, Weber action in a laminate flat fore-end stock. The thin rubber "white line" recoil pad came off. There are no screws, and no screwholes in the pad or stock. It was attached with some kind of glue (which probably held since the 60s). What should I use to re-attach it? And I should roughen up both surfaces first and then clamp it til cured right?

Thanks.

Ruff it up and use an epoxy of your choice. Id use jb weld but i would also use gorilla glue and watch for the squeeze out

I use epoxy on mine, with screws. Use epoxy, rough up both surfaces and use clamps with blocks to align it.

clean it up good and use shoe goo or goop. Same stuff. Perazzi use to install their recoil pads with a rubbery material like that. I have peeled several of them off with a good gasket scraper and it is a rubbery stringy stuff.
It holds my shoe soles on tight when they start to come apart.

I have liked all your posts before that one.Shoe goo? No...please no. It’s great for shoes but not guns. Please don’t use it. Please?

OK, try 3M automotive weather strip adhesive.

You aren't use to rednecks yet, are you

I’ve been using baling wire to fix mufflers since I was 12. I am a reformed redneck! 25 years on the farm! I do have my limits!

You would use yellow gorilla snot from 3M to put a recoil pad on? When you look up red neck in websters it has my picture and i wouldn't even think of doing something like that with old yeller. I guess they do make it in black now, but NO!

That was what we used to waterproof motorcycles back when they had points long before electronic ignition.

I've used bedding compound simply because I had it.

If you've got the balls, Contact Cement. It'a a one shot deal so it better be in the position you want it the first time.

Nah. That will move if it gets warm.

I've used bailing wire for any and almost all. Once wired up a failed/dropped tie-rod end on a '64 Ford stepside...it got me back to town!

We're not talking about neurosurgery here. Use whatever works and call it "precision recoil pad adhesive." Call it "tactical" and you can double the price.

Mike i was thinking some sheetrock screws would be the ticket.
Hell they don't even have to match.

I've had too many of the sheetrock screws twist the heads off. Better beef it up. Decking screws maybe.
