 Repair question
Author: WestwindBob

I've got a Selmer plastic student oboe on my bench that suffered a broken tenon in the past.

The repair at that time was to insert and glue in a hard rubber replacement.

The adhesive has since failed and the tenon is loose in the top joint.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a plastic/hard rubber adhesive that will work?

(Hello, Chris!)

Thanks,

I always use epoxy adhesive such as Araldite.

Yep - your bet bet is to use Araldite or similar epoxy on this.

Clean it all up thoroughly (removing all the old adhesive) before refitting.
