Sticky subject: Glue for blade tips

[Zhi-don]

At our saber class we are constantly losing the tips off our 1 inch poly blades. Does anyone know of a glue that will keep this from happening?

We need something really STRONG!

Have you tried a clear apoxie yet?

[Zhi-don]

No....how well does it hold?

Thanks, but it's Tim's tips that are flying off.

[Lord Maul]

dang, what the heck are you doing with those things. i've heard that with weld on you will shatter the tip of the blade before the tip comes off

[Zhi-don]

Nothing but normal dueling....not even at full power. It appears that Tim has 2 types of tips, the ones without the shoulder are the ones that are coming off.

I think we have had this topic come up before. There is no way to keep them from popping off. I use 3M plastic adhesive and that to me is much better then the Weld-On3 as I have have had less tips fly off with using it but it can still happen.

Bottom line is you can't beat some good scotch tape up there.

What we need is a material that will weld polycarb to polycarb.
