That's what they use for ski poles and if it hardens early, you just reheat the part by soaking in hot water. You'd want a high temp glue, since the black ferrule can get hot in the sun and you don't want the glue melting - though sticking it in cold water will harden it up quickly. Other than that, contact the manufacturer and see what they suggest.

Contact cement will not work. Like you say it will grab before you have it even partially in place. I would go with Epoxy. The 5 minute stuff should work fine.

If you soak the contact cement in lacquer thinner(after application) It will give you a few seconds before it sets. I've only used this to glue foam tires around plastic rims for RC cars, it's a tight fit , but the foam stretches. I don't know how it will work with a tight ferrule. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
