I...That's almost CSI... Lame, I know. Lolz...<br /><br />I'll just go with the medium strength stuff. Will torch it down if need be, hopefully not. <br /><br />I've just received the books and DVDs from WR Smith. Flipped through a little, looks like I'll take sometime to understand what I need to do to make a skeleton clock. Deep stuff...<br /><br />Regards,<br />WongWongsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03583616007802325379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7445819594773958579.post-84961031506067947922012-01-09T15:56:48.166+08:002012-01-09T15:56:48.166+08:00Wong, when I worked at ESI(electro Scientific Inco...Wong, when I worked at ESI(electro Scientific Incorporated) we used blue on 10-32 and larger, the red we used on 4-40. I think the literature from lock tight had the dividing line at 1/4" and larger for the blue. I really don't believe it makes much difference on our size projects. I'm still using the stuff that was in my tool box when I left ESI in 2001.<br /><br />GeneKGeneKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02494711960616526424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7445819594773958579.post-60646177705067191892012-01-09T14:19:29.549+08:002012-01-09T14:19:29.549+08:00Should I be using blue or red?

In th...Wong, you have to learn to control the heat. In the case of a tommy bar stuck into the cam lock you are describing, you would have to turn it to a position where the end was as far away from paint and other delicate surfaces. Heat with torch or other device and let the heat conduct down the bar into the joint.<br />an alternate is to just cut the bar short enough to get things apart then heat the assembly away from the tail stock. Of course you then have to make a new bar.<br />Or maybe just thread the bar and use a weaker type of thread locker.GeneKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02494711960616526424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7445819594773958579.post-37210883442750418562012-01-09T12:28:53.313+08:002012-01-09T12:28:53.313+08:00GeneK,

F. That breaks the bond and then can be taken apart. Clean with acetone and you are all reset to start again.<br /><br />GeneKGeneKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02494711960616526424noreply@blogger.com
