Adhesives
May 16th, 2020 at 9:38pm
 

I use adhesives a lot at work to fix all sorts of stuff, even glue quite a few things at home now.
They usually work out well.

A few things that help my gluing jobs are

1/ Use the right sort of glue.
2/ Prepare the parts well. Clean, dry. rough up the surfaces.
3/ Mix the glue thoroughly if it is a 2 part type, be careful to use the stated 50/50 mix or whatever is stated.
4/ Lightly clamp the pieces together as they are drying. A few rubber bands work well.
5/ Leave these parts untouched for much longer than you imagine.
All Glues take 24 hours to dry, even superglue. They take a week or more to cure.

Superglue won't last a week if it is humid.

If you ever want to stick blankets together, I've heard of something that is supposed to stick to them well...

Is it the same substance that sticks the pages of your porn mag together?

What's a good glue to fix a broken/torn paper mache French Horn? I'm thinking a Glue stick (snap to work) one uses to put weathershields on vehicles.

Take it to your local Paper Mache French Horn Service Centre. They are generally reliable AND affordable.

The best way is to glue and screw.
Use wood screws as well as glue to hold something together.
Also:
if you can't screw the 2 items together then you can glue and pin them.
I have found that large paper clips have strong steel that is 1 mm in diameter -
an exact match for a 1 mm drill to make a hole in both parts.
You make pins out of the paper clip "wire" and sand them with emery paper
to acquire a rough surface to help the glue stick to the pins.
Use several pins - as many as possible.
I have repaired many items that way with great success - often using Araldite.
The 24 hour version is much stronger than the 5 minute Araldite
so it's preferred if you're not in a hurry.
Leave it clamped for 2 to 3 days using G-clamps or a vice.
