I make no secret of it that I’m not overly thrilled with Canon<\/a> in general. I was stung badly over the years by their poor quality control. However, I will concede one point to Canon where they are immeasurably better than Nikon – Canon makes a glue that sticks! Not like Nikon where the rubber parts of the camera grip eventually will peel away. It’s a Nikon thing. The latest is this rubber peeling loose from the memory card door on my Nikon D810.<\/p>\n I love Nikon, but this is tedious. Catch up with Canon! Do some industrial espionage and figure out the Canon glue recipe!<\/p>\n And you may well ask why not send it away for repair? Because it will cost me more to ship it to Nikon USA\u00a0and pay for the out-of-warranty repair. Also the spare part that you order from nikonusa is for the rubber … which doesn’t include glue or sticky something to hold it to the CF card door. I suppose you could order the entire door, but that’s even more spendy. You can buy them on eBay from a Chinese vendor. $38 but it is always a bit dicey buying off-brand stuff from eBay.<\/p>\n Someone gave me this hardy suggestion – to buy\u00a03M double-sided adhesive tape<\/a>\u00a0(Amazon<\/em>) – and stick the rubber down properly again. Better (and less messy) than glue. You cut the shape that you need, and this double-sided tape will hold the rubber securely … for at least a little while.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Double-sided adhesive tapes or sheets using 3M\u2019s 300LSE adhesive are the strongest and most versatile ones commercially available.<\/p>\n The most important advantage of this triple-layer construction is that it allows the sheets to be cut by knife or scissors without the edges along the cut sticking together – a problem commonly found with tapes or sheets that employ only a single layer of 300LSE. The triple-layer construction of 9474LE sheets also increases stability when the two bonded objects are subjected to shear forces.\n\t\t\t\t<\/div> How to fix loose rubber on Nikon cameras I make no secret of it that I’m not overly thrilled with Canon in general.
