Clean the barrel and the endcap of as much old adhesive as possible. apply plenty of 5200, insert the endcap and clamp it tight. Remove the excess quickly after clamping or it will never come off. Fast drying 5200 ($15 +/-) takes 24 hours to cure and can be found at marine shops. Regular 5200 ($5 +/-) takes a week to cure and can be found at Home Depot. This stuff is great because it stays flexible and will not crack with use over time. Good luck, Randy |
| Jan. 13, 2015 Gorilla Boy Men's 50 271 posts | Gorilla Glue, Locktite are quick fixes that work. Marine glue works the best because of the flexability in the glue once it drys. If you can get the 24 or one week repair kit will be better than the Gorilla Glue or Locktite only because of the flex in the Marine glue. Kevin Schullstrom is the person who found out about the Marine Glue. He repaired enough of them while working on the bats. Randy has the right idea. Try and clean the excess glue off of the barrel and end cap. Good Luck. Mighty Mike aka: Gorilla Boy |
