Just thought I would share this with you all.  I have used three metal epoxy 

adhesives so far and the one I am most impressed with is a product called 

"Achor-Tite".  This product is trademarked under this name and is made in 

California.



The product claims to have holding strength of 2500psi tensil strength and 

as impressive as that is, what I think is even better is that it has an 

ability to have 30% elongation before deformation.  It claims impact 

resistence, meaning it is not brittle.  It has a set time of 3-4 hours, but 

parts need to be in contact within one hour.  100% cure in one week. It is 

not moisture sensitve once set, can be used for marine applications. I bonds 

several different mediums.



In actual use what I found most interesting is that I cut a small piece of 

aluminum house flashing to mix this stuff and the left over cured adhesive 

will not come off the (smooth/polished) aluminum flashing.  Even if I bend 

this thin flashing over and over, the epoxy will not seperate.  That is 

impressive.  I had used this stuff to glue in my horizontal stab nose ribs a 

week before I riveted them in. I was not aware of this flashing result until 

I used it again that I played with the excess on the flashing.



Perhaps a drilled out rivet left a slightly enlarged hole.  Use of this 

product in addition to a backing plate might give one a little better piece 

of mind when you re-rivet it.



P.S. I am not advocating patching up your mistakes and being comfortable.  

You are your own engineer and judge.

When Achor-Tite is googled it leads me to Plastic Grip Tite.  Is this the 

same stuff?  Where can Achor-Tite be purchased?  Is Achor-Tite the correct 

spelling?  What is missing?

Thanks ...

There's an 'n' missing.



Try:  http://anchortite.supergluecorp.com/epoxy.html 



They have a version called "Automotive/RV" so that must be for us!

I read it right from the syringe.  I purchased mine from a hardware store in 

California called the "Do It Center."  The spelling is correct.  Let me know 

if you can't find it inside the site you looked at and I'll do more research 

when I get home.  The outer paper I threw away, but I'll make it happen even 

if I have to go get more.  Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thank you. '''''''n"""""  I better watch out for those rivets I leave out.

This actually brings up a point about proof reading your emails before 

hitting the send button.

Some times it takes a while to figure out what someone is trying to be say.



It was the Automotive/RV type, but it also said submergible and marine 

applications Okay.



It is good stuff.

It's really no inconvenience here ... I'm happy it's found,  I added an "n" 

and that lead me into the site.  I've used a similar two part squeeze and 

found the stuff easy to do the job.  I will watch for it at the hardware 

store.  Thanks, Jerry

John,

   What's its long term effect on aluminum?  Will it cause corrosion?

Any thoughts on using this stuff to attach the rudder cable fairings to the

fuselage?  Seems like it might be a good fit if permanent enough.

UNknown, as I have only just started using.  Aluminum however is one of the 

metals listed for its use.  I see no reason why it should promote corrosion 

as it seals the metal off from the environment just like a thick, strong 

epoxy primer.

The problem may become getting the fairing off if you ever needed to.  You 

will certainly damage the fuselage skin. I think it would hold it that well.

Heat will probably take it off.  Most glues break down with enough 
	


heat.  You may even have to get it hot enough to ruin the paint, but if 

you have to take it off you probably will need to repaint it anyway.
