CA and the use of

[hawkeyefxr]

When you use CA it's a bit like mustard, you waste more than you actually use. You try to squeeze gently but it still comes out like the Amazon river, well it does for me anyway.
The tyres were CA's to the rims as they would not hold with the clamping system of the rims.
We came a across some PTFE tubing, CA does not stick to PTFE, the company is link
PTFE Tubing | Fluoroplastic Tubing & Rod | Adtech

They start at 0.01mm tubing. I used it today to put the glue inside an acrylic blank right where i wanted it with no waste and CA everywhere. I bought a 1m length, you only use 1cm at a time and you can clean it out and use it again.

Anyway just though i would share this, it may be helpful

Ken glad you solved some of and realised some of the problems with your mystery project. I for one loved the intro to this firm. There are etch products that prepare surfaces to accept CA glues such as Permabond etc. The product Teflon sticks like tar to a Tomcat in Cooking Utensils.

0.01mm tubing that is getting a bit small.

I used to buy a brand called C-Zap, that came with a tube, but I don't think it was PTFE and it never used to last very long. I had no idea you could buy PTFE tubing, let alone so fine, so that's a top tip Ken. Thanks very much.
