Re: Gluing Metal?
Chuck, Hate to tell you but none of the epoxies will hold very long to a hot area. They get brittle and flake off. If these are small parts, maybe you can tin the contact area and then use a soldering gun or iron to attach them. That way you would only have minimal amount of paint area to repair. Bob
Re: Gluing Metal?
Chuck, metal glue is usually called "solder". JB Weld (an epoxy with steel powder filler) may work, but you're probably talking about a hot to very hot area, and I would much prefer a mechanical joint. How about attaching the pump to a handrail or a bracket attached to the running board? (The latter is pretty close to prototype practice.) regards, -vance- Vance Bass Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA Small-scale live steam resources: http://www.nmia.com/~vrbass
Gluing Metal?
I have some small decorative steam pumps I want to adhere to one of my engines. Knowing I will need to scrap away the paint and both surfaces are brass, anyone know of a good way to join these parts exclusive of welding or soldering. Specifically, is there a good glue (maybe a metal epoxy that melts the parts together such as the one plumbers use to patch holes in pipes) that will hold as well as a solder piece or a screwed in piece? I want these to last forever not just a short while and then have to do it again! Chuck Walters President - Central New York Large-Scale Railway Society http://home.twcny.rr.com/cnylsrs
