I'm building some test fixtures for RAC with lots of lights

and switches on the front. I like to lay out placards in AutoCAD,

print to paper (sometimes colored) and then hot laminate.



I've used contact cements for years with good results to attach

the placards but I ran across a rather amazing product yesterday

that may surpass contact cements and/or other forms of double

sided adhesive:



Hobby Lobby stocks a stuff called SUPER TACKY Thermoweb. You can

find it on E-bay using that search term.



I was putting placard down on a panel yesterday and accidently

allowed the placard to settle poorly positioned onto the panel.

Past experiences with this were no big deal, peel it up and

reposition. This stuff grabbed on so hard that I wrinkled

the placard trying to get it off.



Also, this adhesive is advertised as a thermoset. It may

be just the ticket for mounting placards to various places

in an airplane. If anyone has a chance to try it on one or

more situations, I'd be pleased to know of your experiences

with it.



I'm stocking it here in the shop and will report any down-sides

I discover. I may also do an under-the hood test. I have some

blocks of steel that I use to test adhesives in real life.

I glue them to the underside of the hood of my van. If they

stay put for over a year, I call 'em good for flight

too.

And if they come loose, the drivers behind you have an interesting time...?

 



 

Good hint.  I'll check this product out.  I just used a combo of Scotch double-sided foam tape and a perimeter fillet of GOOP to mount Bosch-style ice cube relays to aluminum plate.  The bond seems quite sturdy, but it took overnight to achieve.

Bob -



You have no idea how useful those studs are/were for our wiring. We used

E-6000 and the worked like a charm. Still could use a dozen of them to

replace the nylon-zip tie kind. We shaved off the double sided tape on the

nylon kind and used E-6000, but they are not as robust as the studs. Let

the list know when you get the studs.


	


   I will. I've been besieged with requests and I've bugged the

   junk dealer that supplied them until he's no long happy to

   see me walk in the door. I owe him a 5th of his favorite.



   In any case, I had dinner with some folks from Amphenol's

   skunk works a couple of weeks ago. They're helping me with

   a really small but super rugged wire and fiber optics combo

   connector.



   During the course of our discussions, I mentioned the bond studs

   and we scratched on the back of a napkin for awhile. I think we've

   got a reasonable design that won't break the bank for tooling or

   minimum quantities . . . but I'll still have to buy 10-20 thousand

   at a whack.



   Hope to hear back from them soon. And you can bet that once I

   have a bushel basket full of them on the shelf, I'm a sure

   bet to make that fact known!

Bob,



We have a CNC bar feed lathe.



It could make those fairly easily.   We keep the machine pretty busy,

but we might be able to make those in a graveyard shift.



Any idea what the price point might be?



Regards,  George
