Hi, I have an old Air Rush Switch 142. Its in perfect condition except the foam on the top of the foot pads is starting to lift . Just wondering if anyone has made a repair of this type before and if so how did you do it , what type of glue etc ? Its a good old board and I would like to keep it as a back up.

Hi Dave,

Use Contact Adhesive Kwik Grip or similar

Shoe goo is very good. Not sure if you can still get the original one in the red & white tube, if you can get hold of that it is worth a try also

Agree. Bunnings parfix, cheap and easy and you're back on the water.

Best of the lot (having just been through the same situation) is Sikaflex high strength contact adhesive. Available at Bunnings.

Yes Sikaflex is more expensive that other alternatives, but it does stay! Recommended.
