[QUOTE="Guest, post: 579103"] G'day I heard somewhere about a type of glue that is used in the construction of detector coils, can't remember for the life of me what it was called (great fun getting old) anyway it obviously it must be compatible with the type of plastic that is used by coil makers such as minelab, coiltek, nuggetfinder and so on, also after quite a few google attempts to find what plastics they use to which yielded little or no information of any use I conceded that it either must be a closely guarded secret or google has become dumber than me which is a worry, used to be that you would be inundated with information on anything you wanted to know but now you just give up searching due to so much unrelated crap coming up? What I have used in the past is old coil plastic melted down with acetone to form a glue consistency, its ok for minor cracks but can fail on the stress points around the shaft mount lugs and so on, is that because there is not enough plastic in the mix or is better preparation of the area to be repaired required?, anyway any further information would be much appreciated. cheers stayyerAU [/QUOTE]
