Repairing latex weapons? was created by GJSchaller (GJSchaller)
The butt cap of Gideon's smithing hammer is beginning to separate from the rest of the handle.  It's still attached, but it pulls away enough to see the foam and core inside the handle.

Does anyone here have familiarity with repairing or gluing latex weapons?  Is there a recommended adhesive I can use to glue it back on?  This looks like a simple repair job, but I want to be sure before I go and do something that might ruin it.

Thank you!

Heheheh. Butt cap.

I'm sorry, what was the question again?

"Ok we can attack... but if we miss, we'll hit the villagers."
"I'm willing to take that chance!"

Things I am no longer allowed to do in an RPG :
31. The backup trap handler is not whoever has the most HP at the time.
73. Not allowed to name my cudgel Ceremonial Whoopass Stick.
74. My thief's battle cry is not "Run And Live"

Use some Google-fu on the term Latex Spray. I'll see if I can dig up a link I saved awhile back. You can likley spray a coat that will seal it.

I have used plan old Contact cement to make similar repairs.  Just paint on bioth sides and let dry then press together .  The sealant afterwards is also a good idea. We have sprayable Latex for that with a small detail sprayer
