Thank you to the many who replied. Inquiry followed by responses:
Inquiry:
Looking for recommendations for an off the shelf glue that will be good
for minor pelite liner repairs. (Something a patient could purchase at a
hardware store or Walmart to repair his/her own liner, i.e. supracondylar
wedge or endcap coming off.) Something without an extensive setting
time.
Responses:
To summarize, most recommended Contact Cement, Contact Adhesive and Barge found in small containers at Home Depot, Lowes, etc... To a lesser extent, Gorilla Glue. Others included Zap-a-Gap (gel form), Weldwood (contact cement), Wormans (rubber glue), Bostik, Carpet glue, XL8 (made by Do All), Counter top glue (glues formica and wood together), Rubber Foam Cement, and off the shelf Spray Glue like 3M.
