Contact Cement
- Thread starter X Breaker
- Start date
Tiger Products sells Durabond that works well, or go to Home store and use welwood in red can, it works great. Tiger also sells a rubber like product that takes off rubber cement off finish, the works wonderful if you are ordering Durabond. No thinning for me on the contact cement, coat 2 times, and let dry for 10 minutes....nipponbilliards said:
Would this Weldwood glue work also foR THOSE HARD TO KEEP ON TIPS.
The ones where the shaft wood is 75% of the surface, and the ferrule substance is 25% of the "sticking" surface. I have used 5 min epoxy, 30min epoxy, gel Cyanoacrylates .
Seems some times the shaft wood soaks up the glue, or the surface is too porous.
Any sure fire glue tips would be appriciated

RWOMEL, "prime" your tip with some ultra-thin super glue first. Get it wet, then wipe it off. You could do this to the ferrule as well if you are worried about it soaking up the gel. Make sure both surfaces are flat, then scuff them LIGHTLY. (I use 220). DO NOT touch the surfaces with your hands. Your cyano glues should be FRESH, if they have been in your shop more than a month, go get some new glue. Put your gel on the tip, then rub it around on the ferrule for a few seconds. Take it back off, and add a tiny bit more. Press and hold the tip to the ferrule for at least 30 seconds.
Contact Cement will not work - I am guessing you are talking about a MOOCHI type ferrule where the ferrule is a slip on (not threaded) Try this - you might thank me. Go to Wal-Mart and buy Duro Quick Gel, and then get online and buy Bob Smith Industries Accelerator (pumper type, not Aerosol). Apply a little more Super Glue than normal, and apply to both surfaces (tip and Ferrule) I then press the tip and ferrule together to make sure glue is spread evenly. I then apply a small pump of accelerator to the ferrule glue. Get ready to press together, because it will set in approx 3-5 sec. I am guessing you have faced the ferrule and sanded the back of the tip like normal. Since I have switched to this method my success rate is lik 99 percent - Sorry to hijack the Glue thread, but try it you might like it.rwomel said:Would this Weldwood glue work also foR THOSE HARD TO KEEP ON TIPS.

Loctite 409 is the best glue imo.rwomel said:Would this Weldwood glue work also foR THOSE HARD TO KEEP ON TIPS.

I even use it on popsicle stick I cut off and center drill sometime to recenter blanks. If it holds wood to wood, it'll hold wood to leather easily.
Loctite 454 would do the job too but costs more and has a 20-second drying time. 409 has 1-minute drying time. Enough to clean out b4 getting hard.

No, but I'm done with super glues.nipponbilliards said:
I like 409 b/c it's a gel and it has a 60-second working time.
Makes it easier to wipe off the glue from the ferrule.
Hot Stuff has a gel, and it comes with a super solvent which you can use to wipe the excess glue off, even after it was dried.JoeyInCali said:
I cannot buy these contact cement in Canada, so I am using a red one from La Page, it is a gel, and it is working better than the green one.
I am hoping to find one which does not have the strong smell. I have ordered a water based cement from Titebond from Atlas to try out, have you tried it?
Talk to you later.

Joey - Alright going to try the 409, can you buy it a home stores, or on the web?JoeyInCali said:

They make a smaller one of course.
With your volume of work, you might go thru this one fast.
It holds as good as the 454 but dries much slower.
Sticks wood to wood pretty might good too for quick experimentation tinkerings.
I use Titebond II for ferrules if I'm not in a hurry.nipponbilliards said:
Yeah I saw that one, but thought I would need larger tube... I will search some more on the wonderful world of Google. Thanks JoeyJoeyInCali said:
