Project for CM - Glueing down the felt on small dry eraser pads
 |
| The cheap dry eraser pads have a felt top surface that's glued to the foam backing (with a magnet in the middle so that they stick to the board). The glue loses it's adhesion over time and the felt starts coming off. Sued this contact cement to glue all the felt pads back on. With this cement, you apply a coat of the adhesive on both surfaces being joined together (it's better if the surfaces are rough to better adhere to the adhesive). Then, you let the cement dry to the touch. Once it gets dry, you stick to two pieces together. The adhesion of the two surfaces with the cement on it is very strong so you get one shot at it. Proper alignment is critical since you can't adjust it once it's stuck together. |

Adhesive romover
 |
| Used this "Duck" brand adhesive remover. It had an applicator tip (sponge too) to easily apply it to adhesive left on surfaces. It takes a minute to soften the adhesive but works very well. Was trying it out to remove old labels for CM on a bunch of bins for her classroom. It works but the easiest & best way to remove the old adhesive backed labels is to use a heat gun to get the label to a certain temperature at which the adhesive comes off very easily with the label. I used an old school Master heat gun and it works fast. |
