    Default Cartridge Man Isolator - what glue?

    Having recently got hold of a Houdini, I am tempted to try my Cartridge Man Music Maker on it.
    The only issue is that it looks like the cartridge is glued in place, so I am reluctant to remove it, unless I can replace the glue, so does anybody know what glue is used please?

    Am guessing the CM would use fine double sided tape, similar to double sided carpet tape.
    The glue/tape is easily removed with lighter fuel (petrol).

    Thanks. Looks like it is a glue from 3M.

    I had this same discussion with Len on Friday. The isolator is a single use item, not transferable. It’s adhered by a special 3M film glue, not available to the public.
