Title: Repairing the rubber strip?
Post by: depscribe on June 02, 2018, 01:14:32 pm
Reviewers reported it happening to them and now it's happened to me: The rubber strip on the top/hinge bottom of my Gemini has begun to pull loose. There's a series of holes into which it was apparently once anchored, but it defies efforts to reinsert it. Anyone else encountered this? What did you do about it?

I glued it in place with a tad of bisonkit glue, no problems ever since

Was your unit from the first batch or second batch? If it was first batch i can only think the glue used was not strong enough. Then in second batch they must have used a stronger bonded glue.

Second batch. I'm not sure any glue at all was used -- little rubber nubbins stuck into holes in the metal itself.
