Re: Pad glue

In the old days, it was all shellac ... only problem was that once in a while, the shellac would break free (usually from the cup) and the pad would fall out. Some fingernail polish would fix this until something better could be done. You just hoped you got the rotation of the pad back in the cup in the same spot ...

The pads would stay seated though, with shellac ... usually leaks were just in the pad skin becoming cut or bad with age.
