    Default Blade Tip Adhesion

    I duel with my sabers at least twice a week with a local group. I've been having issues of my blade tips flying off. I've tried super glue and epoxy, and they stay put for a little while, but by the end of the night I'm often on the hunt for my lost little blade tip. I have the same issues with the corbin blades. I'm seriously thinking about melting the things on there! Any advice for better tip adhesion?

    Weld-On #16 is the correct plastic solvent for the job. It will permanently fuse the two pieces together if used properly.
    We all have to start somewhere. The journey is all the more impressive by our humble beginnings.

    If the 16 still fails if you have a regal plastics or another shop that specilizes in polycarbonate sheet they will have the pure solvent that is diluted for the 16. Just can't think of the chemical name at the moment.

    Methylene chloride is the primary solvent in Weld-On #16. It works just fine in pure form.

    Chloroform is an acceptable substitute, if you have access to it. That's what I use.
