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


If in doubt, I shut up...

Gear: 40D, 12-24mm AT-X Pro, 17-85mm, Sigma 150mm Macro Sigma 100-300 F4, 550EX, other stuff that probably helps me on my way.

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 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

H E L L O

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...

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.

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

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.
