RE: Replacement rubber feet for 50g
I just repaired the rubber feet of my HP 50g. The original glue was degraded, leaking around the feet. So before losing them, I removed the four feet and cleaned feet and sockets with isopropyl alcohol (to avoid damaging the plastic).
By chance, I had some glue to repair neoprene suits: it is like contact cement. It is pretty stable and elastic on neoprene, so I felt it was a good option for an elastic union with the rubber feet. The result is very satisfactory after applying the glue: now let's see what happens with time. [Edit:] No luck with the contact-cement-style glues (standard or for neoprene). The glue doesn't stick to the rubber foot: it is easy to peel-off from the rubber's surface. So I had to go for the Super Glue (cyanoacrilate). It's more aggressive with plastics, but apparently it works. A very tiny amount must be applied to the foot socket, to avoid leakages around the edges of the socket when introducing and pressing the foot rubber. I used a toothpick to spread the tiny amount of liquid glue. The result is very clean: again, let's see the durability. Ramón Valladolid, Spain TI-50, Casio fx-180P, HP48GX, HP50g, HP Prime G2 |
