Thanks , Pete
I guess , contact glue is ordinary allround glue , not really any special purpose glue , don't have any other translation for it .

But I'll be OK with it , thanks again , Dieter

Dieter - it is the type that is used to glue shoe soles, rubber, Kitchen laminate to bench tops etc - don't use spray cans, it is nowhere as good (too thin). Various names here 'Kwik Grip', 'Contact Cement', 'Contact Adhesive'. etc etc. pete

Normally, Contact Cement is applied to both parts and allowed to become either dry or just slightly tacky to the touch and put together. In the case of a counter top in a kitchen, you would complete the process with a J-roller to press out any trapped air or voids.

Thank you , guys ,
Now I know exactly , what to use , we have two great brands over here in Germany("Pattex" and "UHU") , that produce all different kinds of glue for any purpose .

diemai - just remember the smaller the wheel the quicker it will wear out. Rule of thumb is, the smallest CONCAVE curve your lure has, is the smallest the wheel has to be, CONVEX curves are not a problem, in fact the bigger the wheel the better for convex curves

@ hazmail

Thanks a lot about your hints , but being professionally involved into precision metal grinding , I am aware about all of such issues , but its very kind of you , certainly other folks would also benefit from your remarks !

But I don't think , that I could go much larger in diameter than the 5" , maybe 6" , since there is not much more clearance between center of my lathe's motors chuck and the bedding of it .

Apart from the center point for fixing wood dowels for turning I frequently put rotary wire brushes , polishing wheels and a velcro sanding disc holder into that chuck , the latter is exactly 125 mm in diameter , and there is not much space left at the bottom !

But I guess , this size woold be fine for most of my lures , anyway .

thanks again , Dieter
