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,

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.
