|  Bonding metal This question concerns a problem with a clock pendulum. The pendulum is from a quartz movement (so it doesn't affect the time keeping at all), and I added a harp above the bob. The problem I'm having is that the harp slides on the shaft rather freely. The bob touches the side of the case and when it does, the harp has an irritating tinny rattle sound. I tried adding a drop of hot glue to 'fix' the position of the harp and that worked for a while. During that time, the 'tick' from hitting the side actually sounded liike it was supposed to be there.  Unfortunately, the hot glue didn't last very long before it released. Any other ideas on how I could 'fuse' the shaft and harp so it doesn't rattle?

| I'd head over to www.thistothat.com You can cross reference the two things you are joining together... They suggest a metal epoxy...but I'd try CA glue first... Bob

| Bruce, have you tried using a bumper pad that you use on the back of picture frame? This may take some of the rattle out or completely take care of it. David |

| Try the CA first, if it doesn't work, try J-B Weld, just don't plan on taking it apart after the J-B.

 | Id simply use a lil dab of silicone. it remains pliable, so it would absorb the shock, and should last forever. I think CA would crack faster then the hot melt glue did. Dale |

| I'm surprised that the hot melt glue didn't work!! I've always had good luck with it in low stress situations. I'd be temped to try it again. It is important to let the gun fully heat up and not try to glue too soon.,.....a mistake I sometimes make myself when I am in a hurry. If you don't want to do a second hotmelt job any of the other suggestions should work just fine. I would use whatever you already have in house.....even plain old epoxy should work, too. If you have to make a special buy, I would probably go for 30 min. epoxy. I think it probably has more general applications and would be most useful to have as a stock glue to have on hand. |
