I have a skeleton FB I want to put on a rubber handle. Need some help on how to do so... anyone? thanks....
 
"Rubber" handles are injection molded....you have access to that? If so, I have work for you....

Otherwise, gluing and pinning is your only option and that isn't really a hot idea. They just don't hold up well. Now, spray application of bed liner might work and I have some success with that but not as a big handle material, just as a traction coating.
 
You can buy dense rubber sheets to use for a handle. To attach I would use some sort of mechanical lock (corby screws, allen head screws, flared tubes, etc) as opposed to plain pins since most adhesives don't bond well with rubber. As for adhesive find one specifically formulated to work with rubber.
