Not very helpful? I speak from years of experience in heavy duty RC racing. Shoegoo is massively used to fix all sorts if materials to each other where conventional hobby and DIY glues fail. It sticks silicone tube to metal and lexan to anything for example. Ignore at your peril :)

Ha ha! Yes, but he said Not very helpful before baby poo was mentioned. Ha ha! Ha ha! Tee he! LOL!

Has anyone else here tried the stuff? It should be in every modeller's tool chest.

Have you tried using Locktite 480 it's black and designed for rubber to metal contact but make sure you clamp it together for good bonding

Have you tried "PLASTI-DIP" ? available from your nearest Home Improvement Centre.

I have not. But after the $150 Dollar investment in these tracks, I will try anything. Thank you for your time and input.

How about I feed a baby shoegoo, and use the results to afix the pads ? Up until now, baby poo has been more useful than these Mato tracks. :D
