Regluing ear pads

[iwik]

Hi,

WTF did they use to stick the pads to early Phones(2000).The crap is like black tar and as hard to get off.

I managed to scrap it off the plastic cases but getting it off the pads is a real shit.

Any suggestions for removal and what do you use to reglue.

Thanks

"Why do you remove them if you want to reglue them?" is the first question comes to my mind.

They had slid sideways and were half covering the openings. I did try to slide them back.No option but to remove them and reglue.

Apply soft solvents carefully with cotton sticks. They'll become more removable. Somebody else can tell you what to use for reglue. Removing is all I know.

So this would be Stax Lambda's then?  It is some petroleum based glue and it is really nasty.  Better than the current shit though which just doesn't work...

To remove it I use a basic adhesive removal liquid and not a lot of it.   Then just pick some nice 3M double sided adhesive.

Birgir you were spot on and thanks to all. I just used my fingers and rolled the stuff off. That 3m stuff is really good.

Excellent.
