Wondering if anyone has a recommendation for a contact cement to use on deck pads? I keep using the lePage stuff and they keep letting go after a handful of sessions.

Gorilla Glue has worked for me. Clean surfaces first. Wet out each surface, wait until surface feels gummy rather than wet, press together and use tie down straps wrapped around board to keep pressure on overnight.

Like the original gorilla glue, this stuffhttp://www.gorillatough.com/gorilla-glue, or do they make a contact cement not on the site?

On a closer look, it's the original glue they used in the factory that's peeling, the areas I had already glued with contact cement are still holding. But now I've got to try and remove the pads completely and clean them. My mistake for not doing that the first time.

Automotive Goop. Stays flexible and clear, non-yellowing. Awesome stuff for so many applications. Most hardware stores have it.
