Novice beginner

Its a glue Jason B put me onto - it is a glue that bonds Metal and disimilar materials but not as strong as some epox glues or Loctites

I use it to fix any small or delicate parts onto larger metal pieces which then allows me to perform Light machining, you can get it from screw fix and even some of the larger Tesco stores

what I like is that after the machining you can break it away and lightly scrape the adhesive off

Hi Les,

This method worked really well but I think I am also going to make a set of square and hexagonal blocks as David described - i think they can be really useful as a means of holding the small parts that will need drilling for split pins and so on

I must admit that when I first fitted the Tee slots to the top slide extension I didn't think I would ever need them

Just goes to show

Cheers - until the next problem

Hi kerbtrawler, thanks for the info, i must slip along to screwfix and get some!

Was not me, never used the stuff.

Was it their PU which looks like golden syrup or their superglue? I use Titebond PU adhesive when I need it.

Hi Jason,

Sorry about that I was sure it was you, either way it works really well, its the one that looks like syrup and sets white, but needs to be ideally forced together to go off correctly

cheers

Taking Davids idea a little further I have now made several square bars to hold the various pins for the front end assembly - it makes drilling the 1/16" holes for the split pins so easy and all 5 have come out straight and parrallel

Hi, Trevorh,

I have just realised that I was calling you "Kerbtrawler" in my previous replies. I apologise for my error.

Les.
