Suitable adhesive query


Recommended Posts

Considering a modification to Bachmann TLC that requires gluing 0.6 mm dia. brass or NS (ie. non magnetic metal) to the back end of the "loop" on the TLC (where the hook pivots). I don't know what type of plastic these are. Can any one recommend a suitable adhesive, is there one?

As you’re using wire whatever shape you’re doing I’d drill a fixing point. Superglue would likely be the best glue dependent on the amount of force you’ll be exerting on it and in which direction.

In the past I've fitted extra pick-ups to locos and fixed the wire using Araldite. It's a two part epoxy resin, (-sorry if you already know that), and encountered no problems. It's also extremely tough and I've never had a joint fail. 

 

Did you use Araldite Rapid or the standard Araldite?
