Title: Metal to metal glue
Post by: Clean on June 27, 2012, 02:12 PM: RADsters,

I have a Bottom Bracket Ball Bearing rattling up and down the downtube of my current build (ask Spen for details); you can imagine it is slightly annoying. :knuppel2:

My plan is to use metal glue squeezed through the little hole in the BB Shell that the bearing sneaked (euphemism) through to glue the pesky little mo-fo to the inside of the downtube / shell. 8)

The glue can't be too viscous - such as a paste - as I plan to inject it through the hole (5-7mm diameter, I would say) using a syringe. I am hoping a big dollop will set up with the little bugger secured within. ;)

I am currently considering Evo-Stik Liquid Metal or Araldite Rapid Steel; any thoughts? :-\

What is the best metal glue for this job? :coolsmiley:

Thanks,

Clean.

Why not just squeeze a bath sealant into it? Bring it back round and i'll sort it for you mate....
