Hi.

One of the rubber bumpers on the bottom of my underwater housing has unglued from the housing.

How should I glue it again, granting a proper adherence, so I do not loose the rubber part and that is stays at it's place doing it's job?

Thanks!

Hi, a pic of the issue and more information about your rig (Brand, model, etc.) could really help us to reply you better.

Hi.

My housing is an Aquatica, for Canon 7D MkII.

I do not have the housing with me so I am not able to share the picture, but I found a picture at internet of a Sub housing where I pointed the rubber protection pads on the bottom I am talking about.

One of them got loose. How do I glue/attach it properly to the housing?

Epoxy?

You could ask google there's lots of marine grade adhesives around, anything used on a boat would probably work, choice may be dictated by container size, you probably don't want to buy a full cartridge just to glue a single pad. This page reviews a number of marine adhesives:

You might go to Ship's chandler to see what they have to offer.

There really is not enough information to go on here. But I will suggest E6000. It is a strong and flexible adhesive that sets up clear and might work here.

Pedro, have you tried asking Aquatica?

I agree with E6000 or

I have used this for gluing all sorts of things to housings and other toys.

It is always interesting to ask the manufacturer but remember they were the ones that glued it on unsuccessfully 😃

This is my goto glue. Works on drysuit and wetsuits too.
