Good Morning All;
Running into 'challenges' trying to use "Same Stuff" (the Micro Mark equivalent of discontinued Tenax 7R) as the bonding agent for assembling the PSII Nike Smoke fins.
I have the capillary touch applicator, but those fins also have bonding surfaces inside the fins, so I was trying to use the applicator brush in the Same Stuff bottle, without success. Bottom line is that the adhesive 'flashes off'/evaporates so quickly that it is largely dry before I am able to get adhesive on all the surfaces to be bonded and the two halves together. I was able to easily pry apart this morning a fin that I bonded last evening.
Was thinking about pouring a 'puddle' of adhesive onto a piece of plate glass, then floating the fin on it to apply adhesive to all the boding surfaces at once, then adhere the two halves together, but I fear this provides numerous opportunities for it all to go wrong...
Looking for ideas/suggestions/helpful hints.
Thanks,
Dave
