In need of Uber Glue!

Aptivaboy · Post by **Aptivaboy** » Tue Jun 05, 2007 3:35 pm

Hi guys,

A resin nacelle pylon on my Pioneer conversion keeps breaking, and no amount of superglue/CA will hold it. The slightest bend or handling snaps it off. Can anyone recommend a relatively fast acting glue for this? I'm wondering if a two part epoxy might be the way to go.

Thanks,

Robert

Pin it:

Drill a hole the same diameter of the pin ( a shortish metal rod), insert and glue the rod into the hole.

drill a hole into the other part larger than the pin. Mix some Aves (2-part putty) and put it in the hole, insert the pin, glue the mating surfaces with superglue. When the aves cures, it should be solid as a rock.

Pin it and use Wave Black CA.

Lawn an Garden GOOP........Wallace World carries it........I've used it to glue the crank pins onto steam locomotive drivers.......pin for a mechanical joint reinforce with goop for a chemical one....its also a tad flexible......makes it tough.....

Pinning is your best bet for strength. I pin nearly everything when working with resin, even small winglets. I just don't want those to pop out, and the big parts will be too heavy for adhesives - you need mechanical strength.

Nice trick, ain't it?

I hadn't even thought of pinning the parts. Thanks guys, super idea.

I've never used the Aves. Where can I get it and what is it?

Yep!

I especially like using the modification with the nesting sleeve to create a perfect pin-joint

Ha! I knew you were going to say that.

He's right try Wave Black CA. Great stuff. You too will be hooked on it.
