As previously said, you'd be best ringing, better safe than sorry.

Clearly Fabric glue would not be the best Andy when Masuri have said to use Impact Adhesive

There are huge amounts of usless posts on here, I seem to remember there was a recent one that was only a smily face, that go unnoticed by you who is just waiting to take the pi$$ out off. Seen as it is fabirc the sensible option would be to use fabric glue. If Masuri said to jump off a bloody cliff, would you do it? Just because the brand says that is what they use, that does not mean that you have to believe it or are you THAT gullible? There are factors such as price to include!

Post by: Arthur on January 02, 2009, 07:18:42 PM: Andy, the reason you pay attention to Masuri is that the helmet's carbon fibre shell may be damaged by the glue, and cause it to rot. I got in touch with Masuri who said that it wasn't a very good idea using any glue, and that any badges that were to go on a lid should be sent to them who would recover the helmet.

Post by: Outlaw on January 03, 2009, 12:03:11 AM: I know a couple of pro's who's helmets are sent to Masuri for badges to be glued on, so maybe they where trying to make some money out of you Arthur!
Title: Re: glue?
Post by: Arthur on January 03, 2009, 12:46:24 AM: That's interesting, as I emailed them asking what would be best to do, and they said to send it to them, however they did tell me about rotting of the shell, but if pros do it then it can't be too harmful.

On the vague subject of money, did you get my PM mate?

Post by: Outlaw on January 03, 2009, 04:13:51 AM: Majority are embroidered on, but I know of a few exceptions where helmets have been sent to Masuri to have badges glued on.
