| | | | | Getting inside the new magnet bricks
|
| Has anyone managed to crack open (without damaging the parts) one of the new 2x4 minifig-magnet bricks? I noticed that they were held together with a couple Torx screws, so I bought a precision Torx set (I think it took a T6) and removed the screws. (...) (14 years ago, 5-Apr-10, to lugnet.parts.mod)

| | | | | Uses for mirrored LEGO (Was: Which glue?)
|
| (...) Hmm, I like both of those, but my idea is/was closer to the first. Not to cast a light, but to reflect an image: have a camera rigidly mounted (so the heavy stuff doesn't need to move), with a rotating mirror at 45° in front of it on a (...) (16 years ago, 24-Feb-08, to lugnet.parts.mod)

| (...) There is of course an alternative, if you want to put up with the hassle. Buy a good respirator with a cartridges designed to filter out the MEK. But you need to be careful. You need to make sure that the cartridges are fresh as once in use (...) (16 years ago, 23-Feb-08, to lugnet.parts.mod, FTX)

| | | | | Re: Which glue?
|
| (...) Brian, I would try a dab of silicone adhesive caulk. You can check the specs but think would be good down to -60----if not there are some that are. Messy but would bet it would work. Also, try roughing up the beam with bit of sandpaper which (...) (16 years ago, 21-Feb-08, to lugnet.parts.mod)
| | | | | Re: Which glue?
|
| (...) Brian, Have you tried Gorilla Glue? You just have to be careful not to use too much as it expands as it dries. I'm also assuming that it's the flat-plain side(s) of the beam (not the technic pin hole side(s) ) that you are trying to affix to (...) (16 years ago, 21-Feb-08, to lugnet.parts.mod)
