Has anyone ever tried to solder a sink tube overlay to the mhs parts. I would like to use an overlay without having to screw it to the mhs parts.

Solder wouldn't hold it. You could glue it to the MHS. What's wrong with a button head or two?

it could work but you'd likely end up seeing the solder points, and it wouldn't be good for dueling, a solder is like a weld without the strength, a more durable and probably easier solution would be to use some sort of epoxy to glue it together.
edit: and maul beats me to it:rolleyes:

JB Weld would probably work good for an application like that.
I have used it on my Mara Jade to hold both the activation box and a strip of aluminum at the emitter in place.
Both of those pieces are high-contact and could be easily dislodged if they were not securely fastened.
JB Weld holds like a champ, and can be sanded and painted if needed.
Cheers

Thanks guys.
I'm trying to make a hilt that has a kind of organic feel to it. In stead of a hilt that looks like it began its life as something else then got adapted to being a lightsaber
Again thanks for the pointers
