salbrecher Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 The ruber handles on my Cobra tools are comming off from postholing and i was wondering what would be the best thing to fix it with. i tried seam grip before but it came off again. I was thinking rip the rubber off comepletely and use hockey tape? anyone have this problem? Quote
ken4ord Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 Yeah but it doesn't bother me. You can try that tool dip stuff that you can buy at hardware stores or just some good old rubber cement. Quote
Mark_Husbands Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 mine too. I'm tempted to take them off and try to paint some tool dip on them, but I'm afraid it won't work... Quote
layton Posted June 29, 2006 Posted June 29, 2006 ditto. marcus d. sent his back and they not only fixed that, they cleaned up the tools and relaced the rubber gasket and rusty screw Quote
pdk Posted June 30, 2006 Posted June 30, 2006 tool dip works just fine on the cobras. I've seen where people took the original rubber off on purpose and dipped them because it made the handle smaller. Been considering doing the same with mine. Quote
Mark_Husbands Posted July 2, 2006 Posted July 2, 2006 so i wonder if the tool dip ends up more slippery when wet? i read that you can add some grit to make it non-skid. Quote
cdurf Posted July 10, 2006 Posted July 10, 2006 I've put seam grip on the palm of my goretex backed shell mits to repair holes. The trick for a good grip and not a slippery grip is as follows. I heard about it and tried it. Â Add table salt on the seam grip after it is applied and before it dries. Â You know it works. Like little suction cups after the salt desolves. Â This may work for the Cobra handles. Quote
Mark_Husbands Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 gonna try it on some dowels. i also saw a recommendation for some type of synthetic crystals that give grit. Quote
