    Glue for bonding seat foam...

    Harbor freight has a hot knife for about 20 bucks so that's on my list but what is the best glue for adding foam to the seat?

    I have a King Queen for the 78 1000 that I'm going to butcher & get recovered & also I want to have a go at the seat for the 750ES.

    My 1000G had some work done on it by the original owner or at least at his expense by Saddlemen so I guess I am spoilt!!

    There are several spray adhesives that work great.

    I have a can of Loctite brand spray adhesive that I used -- gluing upholstery foam is one of the uses listed on the can.




    3M Super 77 spray adhesive is also popular and easy to find in any home store.


    A regular electric knife also works great on seat foam -- I have one I bought at Goodwill for $1.

      I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

          3m super77 is the ticket--I also bought an electric meat carving knife at goodwill for $3.00--works great on seat foam--use a sharpie to layout the design and cut away a little at a time--practice on some old foam if you can--good luck!
