Loctite ?

[bloodyarrow]

I can get my hands on Loctite 495 here at work. Has anyone used it on there bow repairs? I looked on loctite's site and the only differnce I have found on it is that is strength is a little less then the 420. 420 is 2900, 495 is 2750. and the 420 is a wicking type plastic bonder where as the 495 is general purpose

495 dries slower..bd

[bloodyarrow]

Thanks doc, not disputing you but the spread sheet shows it the same as the 420. Is that your experince with it, just asking ? I dont want to use it if it will cause me problems

I would think a slower dry time would be benificial...or it would be for this slow old man.

whoops maybe 495 fills a larger gap and does not wick as well as 420.I gotta look now.bd

Wicking is the key, I think it will run into a gap of about .0015 (Half a hair)

That means it will run "Into" the crack and not lay across the top.

Go to McMaster Carr and buy it on line. (accept no substitutes)
