Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Re: sprayer tank construction

2005-03-25 by Stefan Trethan

Guys,

things are not going well with the sprayer..

The acrylic silicone is definitely trash, the standard silicone doesn't
stick well (at all) on the lexan.
I have tried everything, roughening the surface, cleaning well, ... it
still comes off way too easy.

I can go and buy new silicone for acrylic glass, but i'm not too sure it
will hold all that much better.

welding, i'm kind of reluctant because it is a very final thing, changes
on the tank will be almost impossible.
Also, i have not tried yet how hard welding lexan is.

I'm thinking about other glues, but i would have preferred silicone
because one can easily fill gaps and make thick beads.

Didn't expect _AT ALL_ that the gluing will be so much trouble.
