    Cosmetic repairs dye i5

    What is the best way to re-glue these little rubber pieces to this dye i5? Is just regular super glue OK or is there something specific I should use to avoid further damaging the mask?

      Weldwood contact cement. I use this for replacing foam on masks and putting new EVA foam bumpers on my older JT masks. done correctly the foam will break down before the glue does. get a small brush - paint BOTH sides with a thin layer. let dry till it looses sheen and push together - hard. - good as new. This is pretty typically how they do it at the factory. super glue will hold but not for long, as its a very brittle glue.

        Aquaseal - neoprene glue is what I have used with great success with paintball soft goods repairs. I used to use it a lot with wetsuits and my foldable kayak for making watertight repairs.

        You do need to clean off the old gunk (sanding works) so the glue can bond with the fabric.

            I use this as well, it works really well but definitely follow the directions
