I have 3 ESP catapults and I need to repair all of them. The hollow elastic keeps coming out of the fixing lugs, succeeding in firing boilies about 2ft from the bank.
I need a glue to fix the elastic onto the lugs, the lugs on the frame are metal (brass I think) and the lugs on the pouch are plastic. Any recommendations on a particular glue, I guess it needs to be a flexible glue? I will also put cable ties on after the glue has set. Have used varying glues before with no success.

If its the right size elastic. Push them on. I usually wet it to make it easier. Then leave for a couple of hours. It drys and grips realy tightly.

I had a Drennan boilie-pult graveyard in my shed, half a dozen frames, either missing pins, elastic or pouches.
Managed to cobble together one from the lot
The I made the mistake of buying Megapult for the larger frame and heavier elastic- what a POS even with a smaller pouch.

I replaced mine with surgical elastic much much better
I just added a drop of washing up liquid to aid the fitting onto the pins

I've done the same and there are so many different strengths to choose from. I'm currently using a softer one that I find perfect for smaller waters.

Exercise elastic can be a bit more user friendly as usually colour coded for different strengths.
