Any hobby shop, white and orange bottle, about $4.00 a bottle.

Post by: Doug Sterner on February 04, 2007, 04:15:59 PM: I prefer the Loctite brand Super Glue Gel. It comes in a triangular shaped plastic container with little blue grippers on the side. It's more expensive than regular Super Glue but I have found it to work exceptionally wwell on all inserts.

Then only ones I have had to dop prep work with are the Turbo Ice grips and the Silli-Quicks. All I do with these is wiper down teh grip and the inside of the hole in the ball with acetone and the adhesion is awesome.

Post by: JohnP on February 05, 2007, 09:43:55 AM: I use LocTite in the bottle with a brush applicator. I glue inserts all the way around and the brush makes it easy to get a thin layer exactly where you want it. I've never had a grip that I glued in come loose. The local WalMart carries it. -- JohnP

Post by: LowRG on February 05, 2007, 09:57:58 AM: Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't super glue react with the resin, possibly causing weakening of the cover/cracks?

PlastiZAP is probably some kind of epoxy...

Post by: strikemor on February 05, 2007, 10:19:03 AM: Other than Loctite, Bob Smith Industries in CA is the largest private label manufacturer of super glue. I buy a carton of 12 - 2oz bottles for $6.50 each from a local hobby shop. The Quick Set, 1-5 seconds, works great on the Turbo Ice Grips. For regular grips I use the 5-15 second setting glue. The best way to minimize the effect of the glue on the ball is to use a very minimal amount. After all, it is called Super Glue.

It's made specifically for plastics. Turbo recommends it, so I recommend it!
