Air filter Glue?
Anybody have experience with a good glue to repair seams that are letting go on the stock filter?

I have.
Ate the top end when the glue gave out in the middle of a ride.
Don't do it.
Not worth it!!!
Considering the cost of a new filter vs: the cost of a top end..WHY would you even want to fool with it?
I made all that up. I've never used filter glue and never would...less I was miles from home and had the choice of running with a hole or trying to fix it. I think Wibby tried it. Ask him.

Well I got stoopit and washed the stock filter in hot water, which let the seams de-gluify. I've used No-Toil for a long time and never saw that, but always used cool water. This was the day before I was to go riding. That's why I was hoping to get a quick helpful answer.
Glue should work because the things are glued together in the first place. I fully intend to buy a new filter, just didn't want to wait. RM sells a No-Toil filter for only $13.00, and the reviews are positive.
Anyway, I used a glue called Power Poxy Super Crystal Clear Cement. I'll see how it holds up to servicing a few times while I use the new filter.

Whoa! Sounds super-d-dooper!! All it needs to be is purple.
Yeah...they're glued in the first place..and that first place is before it's been oiled, reoiled and oiled again, has had detergent put on it, and gotten filthy.
Let folks know how well it holds up?
About the time seams on my filters start to give up (hot water washing notwithstanding) is about the time the foam starts to degrade, so it's time for new ones anyway.
Hey! I just realized you're pokin' fun'a me and my quick helpful answer!!

But...does the glue have a 10-year warranty? Did you get eight tubes for the price of only four?
Truth told, I had to google both'a those names to find out who they are. Sheltered life, 'eh?
