Advice on gluing the bronze.

[Anthony Foster <monkeypuzzle1@xxxxxxx>]

Mitch;

 Here are a few more tips for gluing these pieces back on.

The first is to clean both surfaces thoroughly before applying the glue, but that's just common sense. The second is to use some strips of masking tape to hold the strip to the handle while the epoxy sets. The third bit of advice, if you do use the masking tape, is to use the 24 hour epoxy rather then the 5 minute type. The 24 hour epoxy is less convenient but I have found that it bonds things together better and is more resistand to heat. To clean up use household ammonia while the glue is still soft.

Best Regards

Subject: IML: Glueing the Bronze

I appreciate the replies I got ref glueing the bronze trim.  I have used epoxy a lot in RC modeling, I don't know why I didn't think of that before!  and yes I have heard of Wayne Maddox he is in the Denver area.  Thanks again.
