ok guys, what kind of glue should I be using to reattach the rubber tops & bottoms of my Corny kegs? I've just received two of them that are busted up and very loose and can fix them with the rubbers from another keg that is totally shot.
Thanks in advance folks!

I'm interested in the responses to this question, too. I have one keg that has a loose handle.

I was thinking about using that "shoe goo" stuff, or maybe some epoxy resin. I think whatever you use, it should have a little resiliency to deal with the constantly changing temperatures that these things see.

I'd like to know too. Someone told me to use gorilla glue, and that didn't last too terribly long.

I would give JBWeld or some other epoxy a try. It isn't flexible but it bonds pretty well to most anything. You might need to rough up the metal surface being bonded. A more flexible compound is contact cement but I don't know if that will stick to metal.
DOW seems to make some really neat stuff to do this though: http://www.dow.com/assets/attachments/i ... SGuide.pdf

use duct tape

thanks matt, as soon as I'm done using CoffeeMate in my milk stout...

Silicone caulking?

Clear - maybe a kitchen and bath product (or exterior door and window) could handle the moisture, cold, etc.

What about replacement parts? I have a keg with no bottom.
