The discussion centers on the appropriate adhesive for bonding steel and G10 material in an environment where the assembly will be subjected to movement and exposure to oil. Participants explore various adhesive options, including epoxy and JB Weld, while considering the long-term durability and performance of these adhesives in oily conditions.
Participants express a variety of opinions on the best adhesive to use, with no clear consensus on a single solution. While some advocate for JB Weld, others suggest different adhesives or mechanical methods, indicating ongoing debate and exploration of options.
Participants note that the temperature range and the specific environmental conditions (e.g., exposure to oil) are critical factors in determining the effectiveness of the adhesives discussed. There are also mentions of the potential for certain plastics to swell and distort, impacting adhesive performance.
This discussion may be useful for individuals involved in DIY projects, repairs, or engineering applications where bonding dissimilar materials, particularly in challenging environments, is required.
I have to get back to you. I open another one, feels like the epoxy doesn't even stick onto the steel that well, when I peel it, half stick on the steel, half on the G10Baluncore said:Just stop overthinking it, and scrape the surface.
isn't G10 itself made of epoxy? not trying to be smart, just pointing out what could be a problem.yungman said:Hi
I need to glue steel with G10 material together. But it is in moving parts environment that constantly see oil for the moving parts. My first thought was epoxy, but can it survive in oily environment in the long term. Any other suggestions?
thanks
