Sticky subject
So far Ive threaded all my custom parts to join them together. I remember on the old site there was talk of some kind of glue that you could use to join them that was just as strong, as far as shrouds and junk. Does anyone remember what it was or have any suggestions?

Araldite…. ❗
I think the stuff mentioned was just a regular epoxy with a british market name. I remember the conversion, but not the product name – I must have forgot to jot that down on one of my lists 😀
LOL, I was just reading about Gun Tite. It turned up in my searches. It says they use it for scope rings and such so they wont move around on high powered stuff. Its not permanent though so I dont think it would do. Its looking like some type of epoxy would be my best bet. Ive considered brazing or soldering but it just seems like that would be to easy to make a mess of things.
Gun Tite?
I thought of that but wasnt going to mention it becuse I thought it was just relabelled green loctite.
Thanks, I will check those out. If I remember correctly the old thread was started because folks were concerned with glue being used for a high pressure application like a shroud and the a possible failure. Somebody from England posted something that was perfect for it and I believe Tony said he actually used that same stuff.
There’s a version of Loctite that does what you want, I think it’s Green. You could use it for things like scope rings if you never wanted to remove them. Hope that helps.

Damnit Adam… Shadoh’s on “the list”….. We dont talk to those folk

Depending on what you are using there are several options.
If you want a super tough flexible bond that will not be exposed to heat and not break the bond like some epoxies when the temperature dips you can use Pliobond with a heat set technique.
There are many kinds of epoxies with different formulas. I have used Epon in the past for many applications.
Good rule of thumb is the longer it takes to cure the stronger the bond
There was a discussion on the old board about what worked best. Anthony and some others posted a product that was made for joining two machined surfaces together like this. I think it was even a gunsmith type branded product. Maybe Anthony will chime in on what it was.
I’ve used JB weld.
