Araldite - 'new improved'.

<< < (3/3)

AshimotoK0:
This is what I use. OK it's expensive buy you get 500g and it  that lasts you for ages and ages and it's proper epoxy with great mechanical & electrical properties.
I mix it with powdered aluminium, talc, powdered ceramic, powdered glass, wood dust etc and use it on everything.

It does take overnight to cure though at room temperature. My top-tip is, if you mix too much to use at the time,  then put it in a freezer and it will last for at least a month.

Thanks for that Ash,
Over the years I have found that anything supplied by RS (I remember when they were Radio Spares!) is of top quality and properly evaluated - as you say, not cheap but you'll know it works.  I like the idea of storing excess in the freezer - I'm also from Yorkshire!
Thanks also for the PM - no rush though,
Ian

paul G:
I have some of that Ash for the coil fix  ;D

Used Araldite AV121 for bonding small motor metallic parts at an Aerospace company that I worked for in the 1980's
Araldite make a wide range of adhesives for different applications...the longer the cure time, gave a better result.
