When i enquired at Thomas Jacks they said dont try yourself send it to us but i think its super glue

I made some eyepieces for mum's binoculars and also my range finder...from a squeegee rubber blade an O ring and superglue. Superglue would be the best thing for the rubber I think, but it depends what you are glueing it to.

Thomas Jacks suggested I bought some superglue to stick a replacement rare earth magnet on my Axion Key rubber lens cap.

Improvement to laser rangefinder with home made eye cup

I was unable to find any replacements for the perished eye cups for my mum's old binoculars so ended up making some. They worked out okay and while making them I realised that I could improve my rangefinder with one. A great improvement, you can use it one handed now. Before it was a bit...

Aquasure id say superglue is no good on flexible things imho

You need a contact adhesive.

You need a contact adhesive.

Will that allow it to slide on?

No but aquasure will

I use electricians black tape on most of my eyepieces, works perfectly well.

Superglue on rubber is the mutts nuts IMHO...

It was designed to glue squishy wounds together....neoprene O rings are the classic, I have been making them for years from my kit of neoprene rubber coils....mentioned it in this thread...

Improvement to laser rangefinder with home made eye cup

I first heard of it demonstrated on a taut liner truck curtain tensioner...a giant O ring tensioned with a cam lever. The guy cut one, put the glue on and held it together for a minute or two then hooked on and swung the lever.

This is my flexible rangefinder eyepiece made from a rubber cord O ring glued to a rolled squeegee blade linked to in the thread from 2012 and still going strong 9 years later...

I have just replaced an eye piece on my HELION. I cleaned up the previous eye piece rubber from the lens cover rim and very sparingly touched a bit of superglue on the inside of the rim and it’s as good as new.

Thanks lads for the comments , this is the second time I’ve lost it , the terrain I shoot in is sore on everything so I’ll try the super glue , I tried Sikaflex last time so that doesn’t work . thanks
