SDS9 pads - cracked playing surfaces

SDS9 pads - cracked playing surfaces

2017-10-27 by hamsterdrum85@...

Hey. I have been wondering how I can restore the rubber playing surfaces on my SDS9 pads. I’m starting to worry that they will start breaking and stripping away from the wood.

I looked at the document on the Simmons Museum site but I can’t find anything on restoring the heads. I don’t know if using liquid Flex Seal and a plastic putty knife will work.
