Thanks, Cory! Are there any links or further information on those methods? Everything I am seeing online has a noticeable 'pockmark' on both of the sides of the Resistance spot and Projection samples.
Thanks!
Hi guys! Have a project where the butt-weld (well, actually two 45 degree chamfered pieces coming together - think picture frame) used on pretty thin (85 thou thick) aluminum need to be 'invisible'.
The pieces are held together and the customer is okay with a small gap remaining between them -...
Great. Thank you everyone! Any suggestions on permanent adhesion of foam to it? Trying to use cyanoacrylate (or any one-part, I suppose) if it can be helped. Got suggestions from 'The Handbook of Rubber Bonding' but if there are any more, would be glad to hear.
Thanks again!
Hello!
I am researching a product improvement application that will require adhering a (rubber foam) item to a surface of a conventional nail clipper. In researching the adhesive/process most applicable, I wanted to find out what specifically is the standard anti-oxidant coating used in this...
You are right. Thanks again! I'm pursuing this lead, with some good results from initial tests. Weld-on P-68 Primer (just primer, not even glue!) seems to glue PVC foam to reasonably heavily plasticized PVC quite well.
Thanks for the reply, sir. I will investigate that option, but I believe that foamed PVC is unlikely to provide enough resistance in normal usage - being either too hard or too brittle.
Thank you, however!
In order to address my question located in the adhesives and sealants section of the forum, trying to attract the most knowledge available on the subject, and going off of the moderators' past suggestions as how to deal with gathering as much information as possible while 'not cross-posting' -...
Hey guys - have a question for you... a product that I am developing has an extruded length (32" long) of plasticized PVC covered by foam (not sure exactly what formulation is being used now by subcontractor) – but whatever is required/suggested can be obtained.
The profile of geometry in...
Figured it out. :) Only the length along the peel line matters in determining peel strength - since the area will be attacked by the peel 'gradually'.
Thanks,

Hello everyone! Writing this post in search of a bit of help. I'm evaluating if a specific adhesive is useful for my application, but am getting stumped by the datasheet.
3m 9469PC is what I'm planning to use to adhere a length of acrylic-modified PVC to a (possibly electroplated?) thin steel...
Thank you, guys!
Thanks for the info, Greg. I guess I was just wondering if there are any specific "guidelines" or "rules of thumb" that are used for body/roof design that I'm not aware of... or any suggestions that the manufacturers have been reducing panel thicknesses as of late. If not, all...
Thanks, Pat. That definitely would have a major effect - luckily roof repairs/patches seem to be quite uncommon and the usual encounters thus far have been with clean sheets of bent steel.
Hello everyone!
I am developing a product which uses magnets to attach to the roof of cars. I am aware that some cars use aluminum or fiberglass in their construction - that's easy to test for. Ignoring this, the question that I have is - is there any information to help me be sure that all...
Yeah, it's been done before. The same guy, Burt Rutan, whose company did the stuff in the picture a few years ago (in developing SpaceShipOne) used his car with an airplane scale model on top in developing his first few aircraft. No pictures of that I could easily find online...
