Guest guest Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 I use something called " SHOO GOO " it comes in a red and white tube, is sticky, stays rubbery, resists water, and gives quite a high when you use it, though not as high as airplane glue. (Just kidding) The method I use is to abrade or scrape up with a steak knife the plastic battery holder on the lower side and edges where the glue will have to " grab " . If it's too smooth the glue can let go. Then apply the glue in a bead along each edge and set the electrodes in place. I usually flip it over so the electrodes are on the bottom, then set a weight on it to hold down while the glue dries. If mistake just pull apart and start over. I also glue down the wires underneath in a separate step to keep them out of the way. ........ Shoo Goo, like other glues, lasts longer in the tube if you put some tape or a couple layers of plastic wrap on the threads of the tube before replacing the cap. I use plumber's teflon tape on the threads to make a seal. It's not easy to find a glue that will hold these electrodes onto the plastic battery holder. They get wet, and knocked about. Krazy glue will sort of work, epoxy sometimes, but be sure to get the water-resistant types. REally, I find Shoo Goo is perfect for the job. Building devices beyond the apprentice godzilla, really makes you stop and appreciate the ease and simplicity of that sweet blocky battery clunker. bG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 I used aquarium silicon cement. Works great, at least, so far.
