What type of glue should I use to fasten a vacuum foam seal to machine as part of mine has torn away, so need to put a new one on???

Do you mean the seal that fits between the waste tank and it's lid? If it is I've used evostick it the past and it's worked really well.
                             hope this helps

Hi Dave,

You would undoubtedly get a better bond with a solvent , probably toluene based adhesive.

I believe Evostick is such a beast so would concur with John.

Cheers,

Doug

I have just replaced my waste tank seal on my Alltec Professional Plus. The original had been stuck on with silicone sealant so I did the same!! fast, easy and clean - just like me ;D
