Maybe a strange question, but here goes. I have a horrible problem with recoil pads tearing or blowing out at the heel where the rubber meets the plastic. I've had this happen with a number of pads over the years of different mfg, and have also had friends use the exact same pads with no problem whatsoever, so I'm sure the fault of the way I mount my gun (I mount the recoil pad fairly low in my shoulder). Anyways, I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on how to alleviate this issue (without changing my gun mount). So far, one idea I came up with is after the pad is ground and fit, dip the pad in Plasti Dip (the stuff you use for tool handles) about half way up the pad, a little more than enough to cover the joint b/w the rubber and plastic portion of the pad, in theory, strengthening this joint.
I'm sure I'm not the only guy that this happens to, and I'm wondering what others have done. I've seen/heard of people using shoe goo, super glue, and/or silicone to piece the pad back together after its already torn, but I'm hoping to be able to prevent it from tearing in the first place...
