searchbar'd and couldnt find the answer. with the gopro adhesive helmet mount when using epoxy with it do you put the epoxy onto the adhesive foam or strip the foam and put epoxy right on the mount.

I don't know the answer but I'm just curious why your using the epoxy? The 3M mounts have industrial strength adhesive and have always worked for me.

Use a nice 2 part epoxy. Mix it properly. Put a ridiculous amount around the base after you put some on the base. Get that shit held in place till it dries. That thing will survive a swan dive off a 3 million food cliff

this.

I used just the adhesive on my helmet the first day and it fell off after I ate it off a cliff. Use epoxy or superglue.

Def don't want that to happen. If your happy with your placement of it on, epoxy the shit out of it. If you get a real good 3 part epoxy that shit will def come off. You might have to chisel it off your helmet if you want to remove it but itll be solid

Fair enough I've had to search for my friends for a while it's a pain in the ass to look for in snow.
