Rubber feet just... fall off

I've done dozens of builds now, but one thing I still can't do well at all is getting rubber feet to actually stick to the bottom of my enclosures. After I paint and clear coat, I usually attach the little transparent feet that are designed as bumpers, but they always fall off. What do you guys do for feet?

I've had no issue with using the 3M adhesive brand feet, even after finishing. I'd say add a tiny bit of epoxy and/or gently scuff up the area where you are putting the feet just to give the adhesive more to hold onto. Hmm...

Same here... 3M is the thing and not a problem 'till today.
But -and at risk of being obvious- consider that if you or somebody else will use Velcro at the bottom, rubber feets are a waste.

There are rubber feet that are designed to be attached with screws, which can be the same screws that keep the lid on, though may need to be a bit longer than the ones that come with the box. For Velcro users and such they are easy to remove.

If you really intend for them to stay on, the yes. Super glue works great. I used some for my fuzzrite clone. For the actual rubber feet, I cut four little square pieces of rubber that I found in an old radio. They haven't came loose yet.tonyharker wrote:Super (Crazy) glue ??
