Yea, I know...duck tape. Wanting to glue a thin neoprene pad to the cheek rest on a McMillian 5A with KMW Loggerhead installed. Anyone have experience with a glue that will stick but still come off on command w/o taking a chunk of stock with it?

Thanks,
OFG

3M #72 is designed for the rubber/composites, etc. It softens in hi temps.

You could try 3M #77 or #90, which is the multi-purpose adhesive. I don't know how it will hold up in the heat and humidity you will have. It didn't do well for me at all, in the summer. It just softened up and came loose.

I wound up using 3M weatherstrip adhesive. It holds well, but requires cleanup of residue when it's removed. It may damage painted surfaces.
