Need help on a project

[DiSoRdeR]

I have a project in mind that I want to do, only problem is I cant weld. So im looking for a glue that is strong enough to hold two pieces on metal together. Does any one know of a glue that would work?

[ojhspyro89]

Become a welder or I think gorrila glue will work im not sure tho. Would u really trust glue?

[chaos lichen]

Use JB Weld.

e6000. this stuff is insane.i would say its just about imposable to break the bond. (for metal- scuffing up the metal may give a better bond aswell.)

Yes, yes I would

Use JB Weld.

Im sorry but I do not know what that is, although I have heard people talk about it before.

I used to have some of that a long time ago, I will have to pick some up.

Two reason why I do not want to weld it is: A) I have none of the tools to, and B) Its Aluminum, and every one Ive talked to says Aluminum is hard to weld.

It just so happens that I do have some E6000, now I cant proceed with my project(even though its not that big of a project) I will let you guys know how it goes with Pictures

bring it to a real place, theyll probably do it cheap, and whoever said its hard to weld aluminum is an idiot.... its easier than welding steel (well for me)

make sure what your welding doesnt need to be increibly percise, and if it is, tell them you want no expansion of the peice, and it must be dead on, so request there best welder.

the guy in my town can weld to needles together without distortion, no joke. (yes with micro tig)

I might eventually, but Im gonna hold off on that for now. And Im not going to use a glue to hold it.

JB Weld!!!!!!!! Strongggggg stuff. especially on metal on metal bonds. At least give it a look. They don't call it JB weld for nothing.

any good 2 part Epoxy glue will hold it just fine Scuff up the parts with 80 grit sandpaper first and it will never come apart again. Gorilla glue is a polyurethane glue that expands 4x its original size when dry so you might not want to try that.

Can you tell what the project is, maybe I can help.

I'm gonna put in a third vote for JB Weld.

JB Weld is a 2 part epoxy designed specifically for bonding two metal objects. it will work on just about anything, but it is ridiculously strong with bonding metals. the company actually calls bonds made with this stuff "cold welds". everyone I know who has used this stuff, swears by it.

you should be able to find it at any hardware or home improvement store. I got it at Home Depot.

The project I had in mind was using the top part of a forgrip(the part that screws in) and attaching it to an RT Pro Forgrip(not the bicycle ones). Im hold off the project for now, I will check into JB Welds. How much would it cost to do JB Welds?

[spyder_technician]

Hmmh, looks like no one posted back! Jb weld is pretty cheap. Just like any glue really. It comes in two bottles and you just mix a little bit of it together, let it set, and then sand it or mill it if necessary. SUPER STRONG though!!!!!! I know its been said before... and even sby me, but its the best. Good luck with your project.

Heh, I've a long project in mind, unfortunately, it requires precise titanium welding. Going to cost thousands, so it's been benched for awhile.
