The thin pad on my .223 has worn out through being used as a walking stick.
I will replace it with a lump of cut out Jandle.
What glue do people recommend?? I have Ados contact glue - but is there something better?
@FRST what do you use?

I'd be using something a bit better than Ados, it doesnt seem to last too long, especially in a high use situation. Not sure what all the fancy products are nowadays, but I have used Stormsure/Aquaseal in the past and had no problems. It is used for repairs on waders and boots etc, but has the advantage of being a "filler" and adheres better cos it fills in all the wee holes in either the butt or the butt pad.
Pop into a rural vet and ask them for the shoof stuff they use to glue blocks onto cows feet. If it can keep a block glued to a 600kg cows foot until it's worn down to nothing it can hold anything! I used it to glue jandle pad on an old shotgun last year and no signs of letting go anytime soon .
Don't get between your fingers..
I use the 2 part araldite for allsorts. Seem to hold well. Glued a butt pad onto a carbon stock and all happy days, my 3030 wooden stock etc etc
Bit of jandal! You have got to be kidding me. I always use Pachmayr pads and glue with 2 pot araldite.
It wont just be any Jandal. Red Band brand for sure.Quote:

Jandal wouldn't be suitable for a nice wood/blue rifle Gary, but if it's going on a lightweight carbon stock they are actually pretty good and around a third of the weight of a rubber one. Tahr, I use Norski 2-pot 4-to-1 epoxy from Bunnings, thickened up with some micro baloon glue powder and black Norski tint. Happy to sort out for you if you want.Quote:

I use heaps of the Ados Builders Adhesive, a two-pot epoxy that comes in two reasonable size tins for about $80. Goes a long way. It's fantastic stuff and sets very hard, but I very much doubt it would stick well to any "greasy" PE type material. For contact glue, I tend to use the CRC Ados Ultra High Strength Spray Adhesive. Sh!t to a blanket usually. Stuck a rubber mat to a rear bag spacer the other day and she ain't moving.
I got a pair of size 13 Jandals for the job from KMart today. $1.25 :) Sorry @garyp
Churrr :)
I done mine on my carbon stock using selleys urethane sealer. I haven't had anything come off after using it, and I know it doesn't come off your fingers if you try wipe it!
I used warehouse jandels, must of overpaid. Were about 2 bucks from memory!
Sikaflex 210 I think it is. Be really sure you want whatever you apply that to. I have a speargun I stuck a plastic rail to and that was 20 years ago.
Good on you Tahr.
I used Jandal material on my 303 for a while. Just held it in with the two big screws that used to hold the brass butt plate. A kindly older hunter gave me a new thick butt pad and that lasted a few decades till it went soft and gooey.
I've put new butt pads on my guns (Pachmayr basketweave, I like) but just used silicone sealant so I can take them apart easily. It only lasts a couple of years but I just rub the remnants off and put more on each time I take things apart. It would depend whether there's a solid surface under the current pad and what its screwed into.
