Shelley's quick grip.
Apply to both surfaces and wait until nearly dry. Then stick together. Have done it on my bar and works well. Just make sure both surfaces are clean and covered well with the glue.

Constant moisture will make the contact adhesive break down over time. Try black Sikaflex, I have used it before and it works well. It is used extensively in the boating industry and does stand the test of time. Also being black, if it oozes out anywhere it won't be noticeable

What sort of time frame does it take to breakdown?

My experiences: I have repaired two Cab bars, both under two years old and it looked to me like they had used contact adhesive from the factory. If you used contact adhesive again to repair it you may get another two years out of it which is not bad, and ur probably not gonna keep ur gear for four years. Just saying, I have used Sikaflex for my repairs as I have had experience with both products in the marine and cabinetmaking industries and my preference in this instance would be Sikaflex.
I should also mention that excessive heat will also cause contact adhesive to break down.

Thanks guys
Muchly appreciated
I'm gonna give the sikaflex a go. Cause it sounds more fun!

STORMSURE
tryed most other glues and that is the one that holds up
need to leave it over night. use baking paper and string to bind it while drying
