    Glue, that is right glue!

    Hi, I am looking for an adhesive for the rubber coating of my 5Dlll. The coating has started to peel at the top right hand side rear of the camera by the three buttons. Before proceeding and making a mistake I would appreciate on a good strategy recommendation. Aluminium and rubber compound? Many thanks, Mike

    I'm afraid I am not qualified to offer any advice as to the type glue but I am sure the main concern (whatever the glue) will be avoiding gluing the buttons at the same time.

      I had this happen to one of my past camera's, think it was the 40D. I just used a dab of superglue - did the trick

        1300L is used to glue the de ice boots onto the wings of the aircraft which are aluminium, but I think you might find that a bit of overkill.

          Many thanks guys for responding. Rob Scott has suggested I use double sided tape! I have now and, it seems to work! Many thanks Rob. I have noticed that the lifting" part hides a very small screw head - to what I have no idea and would be scared to enquire!
          Again my thanks, Mike
