Foam glue

Apart from superglue can anyone recommend a glue to stick a Ramair foam filter to a rubber mouth? I asked Ramair but received no reply as to what they use as I want to stick an off centre mouth on .

Can't see contact working especially where petrol is involved. The off centre mouth was an old red Malossi one and the foam was held with a resin type glue that was very hard to remove, did it with a craft knife a bit at a time but I don't think araldite will do the job even with a key on the rubber.

At work we bond rubber to steel mainly conveyor based the rubber lining lads Bond foam to concrete for use in vets drop down boxes we only use 1 type of glue it's called rema tip top sc4000 definitely oil resistant not sure about petrol though but its expensive sticks like sh@t to a blanket

I was bored so had a look on eBay for you
Never used it myself but it's cheap and the description looks like what you need .
Good luck .

Thank you for heads up on the resin although the stuff Steve t uses sounds good.
