Best Metal-to-Wood Glue?
« on: January 04, 2006, 02:47:04 pm »
The bond needs to be very secure.  I am mounting a wood block underneath my metal CP , drilling a hole in the middle and screwing my spinner to it from underneath.  I don't want it to ever come apart... Any recommendations?

5 minute epoxy works great, clamp the pieces together while it dries if possible.

Gorilla glue is amazing. But you MUST use clamps. The glue expands.
NO MORE!!

Dont forget to clean and or sand the metal part being glued.
liquidnails works good.

I've used this stuff called Multi-Grip before, easy to work with and very strong. In your application, I second the epoxy, it can withstand usually around 2 tons of pressure before seperating.

Loctite 3801 5 minute Adhesive. Suitable for ceramics, concrete, fibreglass, marble, wood & metal. No clamping needed.

Comes in a two part syringe so you can get the right mix. This stuff is awesome, you could use this stuff to glue the end of two turds together if you wanted....

If you get the mixture right. For most jobs, I just eye it. I've had it come apart a couple times due to a bad mixture. Measure it and it will be incredibly strong.

How about JB Weld, stuff is cheap and is really strong!   I've used it to fix broken drill bits, and fix my weight lifting equipment!   I believe it bonds to mostly anything?   

http://jbweld.net/products/uses.php


Someone mentioned on that page,  that they used it to weld a wooden fence post to cement!

Also found this....

What does it bond to?
Virtually any combination of iron, steel, copper, aluminum, brass, bronze, pewter, porcelain, ceramic, marble, glass, PVC & ABS, concrete, fiberglass, wood, fabric, paper -- just about any porous and non-porous material.

I was under the impression that JB Weld was a good metal to metal epoxy, looks like I underestimated it. It's been around forever too.

I think site is quite useful when it comes to gluing things together.
