Reglueing detached diaghragms

[Michel]

Hi ,
I've been having a bit of trouble lately finding areally good glue to re-attach USD diaghrams which are separating a little from the underside steel plate for the lever mechanism. Most diaghrams seem to separate a little but has anyone found a good fix to glue the rubber to the steel plate? Aquaseal does not seem to adhere that well and the best I've found is automotive trim glue!? Any ideas would be much appreciated. How about you kgehring? You seem to be buying all the USD regs on the net, what are you using?
Thanks, Michel A.

Aquaseal worked well for me. You might ask Bryan at www.vintagedoublehose.com what he is using to glue the inserts into the new silicone diaphragms he is having made.
