    So my kegs are seated tightly in my keezer and after a while of wrenching them out they have begun to pull loose from the vessel. Not tear, the rubber is just separating from the vessel.

    Any advice for a specific brand of adhesive to re-bond them? Preferably something sold at Home Depot or Lowes.

    Pic attached showing the area that is pulling off. Thanks! :mug:

    I read another thread about a retailer selling used kegs where the rubber may be loose and someone said there was a type of Loctite they had used to reattached the rubber handles.

    I know there are a lot of different varieties, but I'm sure would be good to bond rubber to stainless, and they are usually available at Home Depot or Lowes.

    I vote jb weld. You can attach anything to anything using jb weld.

    I bought a tube of liquid nails to reattach mine and it worked great. It took a few days to dry completely, but once it's dry... good luck getting it off again!
