would you mind elaborating a little more
I'm afraid I haven't a clue what you are talking about!

[xdjoynerx]

hand grip.... to take the camera apart to work on.

OK,here's what to do
First,turn off the computer and go back to the party.
Tomorrow when you can type non dyslexically please ask us the question again...if you can remember it :wink:

If your refering to the grip that can be bought as an accesory, it attatches in the same fashion that you attatch the camera to a tripod and can be removed as frequently as you'd like.

What language was that in 'cuz I didn't understand a single post on what was going on? ??? :D

[Belmondo]

before it needs to be reguled?

what do you guys use to re-adhere* it when its been removed too many times?
If you're talking about the battery grip, TimmyQuest has given you the correct answer. If you're talking about the plastic covering on the grip portion of your camera body, it's not supposed to be removed, so I would imagine the answer would be some kind of rubber glue or other adhesive that isn't completely permanent.

Thanks for the clarification, Tom. Now things are starting to make sense. reguled = reglued, right? When I first saw "readhere", I kept tyring to click on it thinking it was a link to a description of the problem he was trying to get resolved. :D

MY NAME IS DAVID THE ROBOT.

I AM HERE TO CLARIFY THIS POST FOR Y O U.

THE HAND GRIP, WHICH IS ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE CANON EOS D SERIES CAMERAS. THAT YOU HOLD WITH YOUR HAND.

ok, now that grip, it is held in place by an "adhesive" or a "glue". when you remove it to make repairs, the grip looses some of its adhesion each time.

now, how many times can this be removed before you need to re glue it?

and what do you guys use to re glue it?



i mixed up the lu with ul, but the word readhere (it should have been re-adhere, but oh well, its an internet forum, not a business letter. and if you read that as read here... http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_neutral.gifhttp://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif) should have been enough for you guys to understand what im talking about.

ok, every one know what im talking about now??????????????????///











who glues a battery grip btw http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_confused.gif

Yo...Calm down there. In case you hadn't noticed, Canon sells a device we sometimes refer to as BigEd, aka the BG-ED3. We also refer to it as the vertical grip, or more commonly as the grip.

I doubt you'll find 3 people here that have taken their cameras apart and I doubt anyone takes their cameras apart on anything you could refer to as a regular basis. It's just not something people do with cameras.

So, with that being said, since you disassemble your camera on a regular basis, and Canon also disassembles cameras on a regular basis, maybe even more often than you, I'd suggest calling them for advice on adhesive—maybe they will sell you some—or consider buying spare "grips" for future disassemblies.

Hope that helps.

Actually, I think we had pretty well sorted it out just before your last post. It is an unusal question. RFM is right; you should ask somebody who does this sort of thing routinely. I can't think of anyone who is brave (or crazy) enough to tackle repairing their own DSLR.

Best of luck to you.http://photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif

Ok-now i got ya!

Contact glue is best i find .
Some contact glues say to apply it to both surfaces,wait for it to dry then put them together-the bond is instant.
With thin parts such as your grip-it would be easier using the wet method. Apply the glue to one part only.Assemble it while still wet so you can slide it around and so line it up exactly.
Contact glue will be similar to the bonding agent allready used on the grip-it can be peeled apart in future if you need to.Be carefull though-it will be stronger than the original glue

Well not to appear stupid but if your capable enough to repair the Camera you should know the answer and if your not whty are you taking the Camera apart?

Did you ever try peeling the Formica off your counter tops? That's contact cement. I suspect it would be too agressive for this application.

How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll Pop? 1..2...3...Peel it off and count em!!!

i took the camera apart, fixed the neck strap bracket (and i will be re-soldering a wire soon... something a monkey can do)

and while doing this the camera never sprouted a mouth told me what kinda glue it uses. (and is why im asking)

most camera repair just takes a little bit of common sense and a little guidance here and there from people that have done it before.

Is this new forum thing playing up?I did post before but nothing happened..
Yes contact glue will be stronger than what canon use but not THAT strong :)
The stuff used on formica is industrial strength and pressed together.Over the counter types should be fine.
