Hi
Hi,
I am about to start attaching brass soles to some resin wood planes, but I have been making. Originally I was going to do this using screws, however it would be so much better if it was permanently attached with no obvious fixing.
See below for a couple of pictures while I’m trying to do, the brass in the picture is half inch thick, I will shortly be switching to quarter inch thick.
The criteria for the glue are as follows:
1) obviously, it needs to form a very strong and permanent bond
2) it would need some gap filling capability
3) easy to use and not messy
4) not an immediate set, to allow me time to ensure that the 2 parts perfectly aligned
The two obvious candidates are superglue, and epoxy adhesive. Epoxy sounds good, although it is messy, requires mixing, is prone to squeeze out, et cetera.
If anybody has any thoughts, or any brand recommendations, that would be great.
