Glueboard

[jonjon]

Sometimes simple things make routine processes a lot easier.

I decided to make a glass glue up board for gluing with CA.

I 3D printed the brackets and scavenged the glass from a small printer scanner that had quit and the board was a piece we had.

It is actually very nice to glue on a surface that is flat and square. It is easy to scrape the excess off the glass with a razor which I have attached with a magnet embedded in the board. It beats trying to scrape the drippings off the tablesaw or my dad's work bench. The hole is for hanging it out of the way.

I hate you young nippers... :wink: Always thinking ahead of me!

Very sweet, cool, awesome or whatever phrase is "in sync"!

Be well (Old fa-t phrase).

good idea, might have to try that for a casting surface!

I use old newspapers. Use and recycle. If you would see our newspaper, that is all it is good for anyway. Alas, I don't have a bird cage.

I do all my glue ups on a 16" X 24" silicone baking sheet I bought off Amazon for about $15. I just let the CA or epoxy dry and they both easily peel off... You can also clean it with IPA or acetone as its pretty chemical resistant too... David

I have a 1/2" sheet of HDPE that works for me.

Awesome! Are the edges rounded? I use a coated paper plate, over and over and...etc. One time a friend of mine cleaned my bench off, and threw my plate in the trash :biggrin: Caused me to go to another plate :biggrin: Didn't really matter though. I soon quit making pens anyway.

I used glass until I glued a blank to the glass and I had to break the glass to get it off. Not I use a piece of HDPE.

Call me old fashion, but I use quality wax paper. But glass is an excellent surface for hand sharpening tools on.
