Thanks boys. I'll try ZAP (I like that!) and a two part epoxy on some scrap and see how I go. Eug |

I have used cyano for exactly what you describe. "Zap" is probably the best cyano regularly available, but there are others. If you don't use a lot of it, do as Lew suggests and get Zap. I cyano'd a dowel in a blind hole, needed to get it out, so warmed up the part, the dowel shot across the shed, pinging (gently) off of the wall. The entrapped air under the dowel had expanded, when the cyano degraded the air pushed the dowel out with some force. So it's probably best to consider "what could possibly go wrong" as well!! best of luck cheers Bill |

I can't quite tell whether you just want the parts together temporarily or permanently -- sounds like you want temporary in order to drill, so I don't understand why you want a strong bond that doesn't break apart with a rap? I use that feature many times. Glue temporarily, machine, then give it a shock blow to break it apart. I don't like heating cyano, and a tap is a lot faster anyway. It;s a variation on the old Turner's cement theme, used to attach thin stock to faceplates for surfacing, then rapped off. |

Then there is thin double sided tape that may work for you. Can be a pain to remove but like CA would be easier if heated gently. John B |
