Actually, this is serious. One of my little boy's favorite toys is this little squishy stress reducer thing in the shape of Aflack, the duck from the insurance commercials. His head has come off. What kind of glue is best for that type of material? It's one of those little hand held things they give out at offices a lot that you're supposed to squeeze to reduce stress. It's a very dense foam. I'm afraid if I use something too strong it will eat at the material. On the other hand, I don't want the head to come off again, inducing further trauma to my kid. I hate to just take it away.

1. Possibly contact or rubber cement. Check with a boating supply shop |
|
that type of rubber is also used for soft life preservers. You may also call Aflack. They'd probably send you a replacement.

3. Hmmm, I didn't think of that. |
|
If the reattachment goes awry, I just may try to find a replacement. My mother in law gave it to him; she got it from work (she works for a home builder, so I'm not sure where she got it from).

2. it may take a little while, but |
|
we have a Gateway cow the leg came off of. I think it's made of the same stuff.
When Haele gets home, we'll experiment with various glues and find the best one.
