Well that's woken you up.

My lap-top used to have 4 small round rubber feet underneath. As it got warm, the glue softened and 2 of the feet sort of slid out of place and attached themselves to other things.

I have carefully saved the "feet" and have cleaned off all the sticky residue. I have also very carefully cleaned all the sticky residue off the computer.

However, I have tried sticking them back on with a variety of adhesives - none of which has proved to be effective for longer than a day or two.

So if anyone has any sensible suggestions as to what I can try next it would be appreciated.

My huabands favoured form of glue Aruldite I think that's what it is called. Same as what stan said. My OH uses it for everything too.

You're right Stroppy - it did waken up. Sorry but I can't help with what to stick your computer feet on with.

blue tac...a tiny bit on the bottom of each foot. Press hard onto the computer and it won't move one bit. I love the stuff. I used to use it to keep my blue and white collection still on my dresser, as the floor was a bit bouncy in our other house and stuff would move!

Well, "himself" tried the hot glue gun and one "foot" has fallen off already.

Blu-tac doesn't work - it goes soft when it gets warm, but I do have some clear "museum gel" somewhere (museums use it to keep exhibits in place) - might try that if it can be found, and if that doesn't work then it will be the Araldite.

Mind you, the poot is going to be back with the repair man tomorrow as it STILL has an intermittent fault.

No More Nails - I've used it for everything, from ornaments to sticking down the corner of one of the cobbles in the driveway! I'll be using it tomorrow to stick up my Fairy Door Swap on garden gate.
