Metal to metal glue
« on: June 27, 2012, 02:12 PM »
RADsters,

I have a Bottom Bracket Ball Bearing rattling up and down the downtube of my current build (ask Spen for details); you can imagine it is slightly annoying.  :knuppel2:

My plan is to use metal glue squeezed through the little hole in the BB Shell that the bearing sneaked (euphemism) through to glue the pesky little mo-fo to the inside of the downtube / shell.  8)

The glue can't be too viscous - such as a paste - as I plan to inject it through the hole (5-7mm diameter, I would say) using a syringe. I am hoping a big dollop will set up with the little bugger secured within.  ;)

I am currently considering Evo-Stik Liquid Metal or Araldite Rapid Steel; any thoughts?  :-\

What is the best metal glue for this job?  :coolsmiley:

Thanks,

Clean.

I like the rattle Rich. It wil cover up the other rattles from all the loose nuts amd bolts when you've finished building it with your Fischer Price tools..... ;-D

Why not just squeeze a bath sealant into it? Bring it back round and i'll sort it for you mate....
Still limping......

For anyone interested, common or garden Super Glue did the trick.  ;)

Frame is now rattle free!  :daumenhoch:
