Well I used a different bottle of glue, did everything else as I normally would and so far it's held for 5 racks. No-matter that'll be the last plastic pad I use
NEVER use emery cloth on anything relating to being glued...As far as I am aware, every type of emery cloth has a cutting oil embedded it it.....which will impede glues and finishes from adhering.I've not used the plastic type but the kamui clear do have a plastic pad. I faced it smooth with something like 600 grit emery cloth. I didn't go wild on it, but lapped it until it had a uniform dull finish.

MSDS on Emery cloth, first one I found. Contains abrasive, adhesive resin and cloth. No oil and they are required to include that.NEVER use emery cloth on anything relating to being glued...As far as I am aware, every type of emery cloth has a cutting oil embedded it it.....which will impede glues and finishes from adhering.
None of which are oil.
That's what it looks like.
Maybe the cloth has some oil base?
It's not my argument, so I'll watch from here on out.

No, cloth is not oil and if they impregnate it with oil they have to state that, just like the resin.
Could the resin "leak" so to speak?
jeff Livingston
No, it is cured, and resin isn't oil, either.
After looking it up, I stand corrected. Workin for my uncles as a young kid, they always told me that it would leave an oily film before we would prep something for paint or epoxy work, so I just grew up with that in my head.I would love for you to back up this claim as I'm nearly positive that is absolutely false.
I would switch to fiber pads, they are easier to glue to both ferrules and tips than plastic pads. I would also switch to single use gel super glue packs, as they go weak pretty quickly in the large size. Scotch is a good brand.It is a plastic type.
I faced it prior to first tip and then another time after second tip.
Is it best to rough the pad surface with blade cuts, sandpaper or leave smooth
Negative 240maybe the poster was using used emory cloth.
That would do it. lol

Probably a good ideal. I had no ideal it went bad so quickly.I would switch to fiber pads, they are easier to glue to both ferrules and tips than plastic pads. I would also switch to single use gel super glue packs, as they go weak pretty quickly in the large size. Scotch is a good brand.
All the best,
