At a garage sale recently I found a box with several hundred five inch
sanding discs with the adhesive backs. I got the whole box for $5. The
only problem is that the adhesive on a lot of them is no longer
sticky. I had a partial tube of a leather adhesive that worked great
on a few of them until it ran out. I can buy a new tube of that
adhesive but it is damned expensive. Does anyone know of a good
contact cement that can do the job that is affordable?
TIA

3M makes an adhesive for sanding disks. I got mine from a auto body
supplier.

Franklin Disk Cement. It is made by Titebond, used to be available at Sears
stores. It is milky (and water soluble) when wet, dries clear. Dried is
soluble with lacquer thinner. Works best when applied to both pad and
paper...I squirt some on the pad, rub the paper around on it, set both aside
to dry.
This is the closest I found at Titebond but any pressure sensitive adhesive
should do.

I don't know. It sounds every bit the practical joke as my recommending red
Loctite for casual use.

I use Elmer's Spray Adhesive.. Cheaper than any 3M product I can find and works
really well..
I use it on both 12" disks and a quarter sheet palm sander..
I find that if I lay down a good layer on the sander surface, it's good for 4 or
5 sanding disks between applications..

It doesn't always work, but 10-15 seconds in a microwave often brings
back some old adhesive. I've done it with masking tape, but with
sanding discs there may be too much metallic material. If you have a
shop heat gun, try that.

Did you try a hair dryer or heat gun to soften the adhesive to see if it
would work or stick?
