Hello All-
I have an old 6 footer I'm trying to refurbish, was hoping for some advice. The U-23 rubber isn't cracked or pitted, but its old. Wood seems fine but the glue is old. My main question is, can I just shove some glue in, where the rubber is separated from the rail? Or do I razor blade the rubber off, and use it again? If I have to go with new rubber, please tell me. Also, what kind of glue should I use?
And what do you do about tiny staple chunks that break off in the rail wood? Looks like the last guy used huge staples, probably 9/16ths. Ok to use half inch, or is deeper better?

Not sure if this pic can be seen, but it shows a couple of 2-3 inch runs where the rubber separated from the wood. Thanks All.
