Recommendations for re-attaching cushions to headphones?

Hoping somebody, FP?, can help me with this.. I have a nice set of Plantronics GameCom Pro 1s that I love but I have to hold the cushions in place until their on my head. What type of adhesive would I use to re-attach them? I know that some adhesives will eat up the materials, so want to do it right.. I was laid off 3 weeks ago, so can't afford to buy a new set right now.. ;\ Anybody need an IT guy w/a secret clearance? lol

TIA!

I'd try double sided scotch tape.

Could probably use some spray foam adhesive from a crafts store or Home Depot.

You have to be careful with adhesives. Many use solvents that wpuld dissolve the foam. Spme also heat up when they set. Read the product warnings.

If the surface is smooth enough I'd use double stick scotch tape. If thats not practical, maybe a pliable craft glue. Most of those are non toxic and thus ptobably won't damage the foam. Heck, Elmers white glue would work. It may loosen down the road due to sweat (white glue is water based) but you can just re-glue it.

Just make sure it's the thin scotch (clear) tape, not the thick double sided foam tape. You can find it at any office supply place.
