I notice most people mention epoxy glue. I use Polyurethane glue for sticking my brass tubes. would i be better using an epoxy when using blanks which have been reverse painted?
Main reason i ask is that i have treated myself to a few of Jonathan's brilliant blanks
Brad, IMHO, polyurethane glue would be my last choice for used with painted tubes. While others swear by Gorilla, et al, I have had disasterous results with it.
95 percent of my product offerings are some alternative material which almost always includes back painting, reverse painting or tube painting.
While I really liked that Gorilla dried clear and wasn't so prone to visable "glue pockets or bubbles", my failure rate with PU glue was more than twice that of Epoxy and significantly more that even thick CA.
I think this has to do with the expanding foam of PU glue, but then, I'm no rocket surgeon.
This is only one opinion, you'll like get a thousand more.
Respectfully submitted.
