What is everyone using to glue rubber to wood?

3M 90 spray adhesive?
Gorilla glue??
????

I don't plan on needing to remove it ever, so the stronger the better!!

Let me know!!

Ok, will check it out. Anyone every use the 3M 80 spray adhesive for this sort of thing as well?

Just trying to get all opinions on what people have used with success.

I've used that spray adhesive stuff before and it works pretty good for light-use applications.

So I think it might depend on your needs. What is your situation? What are you trying to do?

I am attaching rubber matting to an APB wood seat base.

What have you used each of these for? The contact cement and the 3M 90?

Contact cement is the right tool for rubber matting. If you only want to do it once, then use the DAP brush-on stuff.
And follow the directions as @andrewb said. Don't improvise.

I've never used the 3M-80 spray at all. I use the -77 and the -90 all the time. They would not hold up for something this heavy duty.
The -80 might work great. But you'll be a pioneer most likely.
 
Minor typo there. I was talking about the 3M 90 spray adhesive.

If everyone thinks it would not hold especially since there are some bends it needs to go over, I will pickup some contact cement like pictured. Appears they sell 3 oz containers with brushes.
 
This is a nice table that looks at 3M spray adhesives


I have used 90 for a vinyl mat on wood (OutRun and Super Hang oN), it worked great but I guess the 3M 98 would be the spray of choice...

The -90 is stronger than the -77. And it might hold up in a home use environment. But I wouldn't recommend it.

Based on that chart you're right....the -98 is the correct choice.

I would still go with the DAP Weldwood. You'll need a chisel to remove that even 30 years later.

Agreed, I think I went with the spray because the game was in the basement and I didn't want to smell the VOCs for days afterwards…
