G10 glue question

[Creekrock00]

Best glue for g10 combos and break tips ??

 

[whammo57]

I always use 5 in epoxy For G10 ferrules and combos........ they are threaded and I have never had a problem..

For break tips I use CA but I pin them on the ferrule or they have a tendency to pop off.

T-88 with some silica powder and white ink.
It will get almost as hard as G-10 and will have great adhesion to the wooden tenon. So much that when you part that ferrule off someday, the epoxy in between threads can be re-threaded .

Devcon or B.S.I 5 minutes epoxy for gluing on threaded ferrules. Loctite 401 for all break tips except Samsara, I use 5 min epoxy for those.
I find G10 to hold glue quite well.

What's the hurry? It's a break cue. Use the better epoxy.

G/flex 24 hour?

G/flex 24 hour?

Much better that mediocre 5-minute varieties.

Cool, I have two break shafts in the works I'll try G/flex on those

Loctite 454 did not give me any problem.

Sure , for tips. Not ferrules.

For ferrule T-88 that's my take :thumbup:

After I glue a break tip on the ferrule, I drill it about 1 inch deep with a 1/8 in drill. Then I glue in a 1/8 in phenolic rod to pin the tip. This is so an off center hit will not shear the glue bond. I have never had a break tip pop off after I started doing this.

Simular methods were done years ago and introduced on this forum using leather. Then Tiger products adopted it for their break tip.

I tried several approaches to the tip popping off problem and I settled on this one because it's cheap and easy............ and I have never had a tip pop off using this method.........
