Etch?

[Lucky13]

Attaching etch to plastic-super glue, but.......is there another way to attach etch to etch besides soldering it together with a soldering pencil?

Normally with 'Superglue' old chap.

 

[Lucky13]

Is that good enough, to hold metal to metal? Thanks old sausage....apprediated!

Yes Jan it is. But I would suggest using of CA in a gel. It allows to correct location of etch parts. A CA gel gets hardening a little bit longer than the Superglue for instance.

Cheers Prof. Wojtek, appreciated!

Lucky, I'm assuming you mean PHOTO-etched parts? depending on the fineness of the application mastic-type glues, epoxy-types, even a gel-type plastic glue (Non-solvent) will hold the part in place (the water-like solvents will do nothing). I used the gel-type super (CA) on the Ho229

Sometimes found I had to scuff up especially shiny PE parts to make the CA stick.

I second that.

Cheers fellas! Have used it on plastic, but never done etch on etch, that's why I'm wondering....

Lucky, if you have trouble with the CA-types setting up (hardening) there are accelerators that will vastly speed up the process

 

[Lucky13]

Cool Mike, cheers!

Or you can try to weld them.

But only after eleventeen pints of Guinness, three 'Scottish White Wines', and a healthy dose of 'T-Stoff' ......... oh, and a kebab !!

 

[Wurger]

Oh yes ... the kebab is very important.
