    Pomoca Skin Reglue Kit is more expensive with a retail price of $49 but you won’t need to invest in a paint knife or heat gun. It simplifies the process for those who may not have a garage or proper workspace. It comes with a disposable cloth that you iron on to remove the old glue and then pull off. Then you iron on the new glue sheet. I found the Pomoca glue replacement much tackier than the original factory glue in my experience.

    Thanks for that suggestion Ethan. I lay down a pretty thin layer of the glue, and it seems precisely what I’m looking for after the too-sticky too-messy *&^% show I had going on. The new glue, from my experience, is just tacky/sticky enough. This also just came to mind, and I suppose one would have to be careful on many levels, but if one is handy and deft with a plumber’s torch, that might be another option besides a heat gun to heat up the glue for removal.
