Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Helicopters / August 2008Carbon Fibre
Hi What's the best stuff for gluing carbon fibre, Say tailboom to mainframe or boom to tail motor housing Tried cyano and all that stuff & never had much luck Thanks Jambongre > Hi > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Jambongre Not tried it, but araldite works on most surfaces. Its a two part epoxy and needs around 24hrs to cure, but for most things it normally does the trick. RobP Rough up the mating surfaces so that the glue has something to grip on. CR seems to work OK for such things as carbon fiber rods and rod end cups. My stuff has compression clamping at the tail boom to mainframe and tail rotor assembly. This seems to work well, and just a drop of CR locks stuff together. That reminds me, I was gonna see if LokTite would work with carbon fiber telescoping tubes. > Hi > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Jambongre Thanks for your replies I will try both suggestions Jambongre > Rough up the mating surfaces so that the glue has something to grip on. > CR seems to work OK for such things as carbon fiber rods and rod end cups.
