Problems with some Multihex and Hugger Pads I Got.

Problems with some Multihex and Hugger Pads I Got.

2014-10-07 by morrisphilco@...

hey whats up everyone. I need some help here. So I just bought 2 Multihex / Minihex Pads and 2 Drum Hugger slave pads. All of them have been worked on and put back together pretty bad (lots of hot glue). One Minihex was able to come apart pretty easily, while the other is 'together'. Also, the rubber on the Huggers are slightly hard-ish. So a few questions. What could I use to rejuvenate / soften the rubber? Also what could I use to remove the hot glue and remove the original glue without damaging the rubber? What would be the best glue to reattach everything? Not hot glue lol


Also, the Hugger have attachment parts don't appear original, any suggestions on what I could use to attach them better?


I took a couple pictures. I included them in a post I did on a Simmons facebook group.

Isopropyl Alcohol is the thing to use on hot glue. It doesn't melt or dissolve it, but breaks the bond so you can just peel if off.  Should be safe to use on most plastics too, just check on a hidden area first.

I made good experiences with spray oil like WD 40 or weapon oil. The oil creeps under the glue and makes it loose, but the "creeping" takes an hour or so.
