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

3M 5200 Marine adhesive or Sika 292i

Proper way would be to mark the screw hole designations on the stocks butt and drill and insert screw bosses ,so one could take on and off Butt pads . Easy enough to do . Otherwise adhere it with proper adhesive .
 
Anything put together with contact cement can be removed with lacquer thinner if you can get it between the 2 surfaces. Believe me when I started doing formic i juiced a lot of it apart and started over.
 
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.

That's a polyurethane adhesive, in case someone needs more of a description. Tough stuff.
 
Gorilla Glue is a polyurethene
Shoe goo is a styrene-butadiene product

Looking it up, you're correct. I will say tt acts much the same as (and can be thinned in the same manner) as Aqua Seal (which I used to do repairs on damn near anything dive-related.)
 
Take it from someone who formulated epoxies and adhesives for a number of years ,in several disciplines including Polyimides for Aerospace industry , You are hard pressed to find better cost effective adhesives which actually work ,than the ones I mentioned .

IF it were MY stock and I wanted to remove and replace pads and or spacers , I'd mark the Buttstock drill two holes and glue in screw bosses ,so as to be able to do just that . Easy enough to do . You could actually epoxy a Nutcert or plusnut Thread cert

The FAA doesn't allow guessing ,neither do pilots . When You build aircraft or watercraft and people are using them , they must be CERTIFIED . Spaceship One is still operational as are a crap load of Long Ez's .
