    Re: Which glue? —Brian Davis
   (...) OK, to revive this thread, I've had zero luck gluing ABS studless beams to the backside of mirrors - superglue doesn't seem to stick at all. Any ideas? What am I doing wrong, etc.? 2 component epoxy isn't likely to work either, given the (...) (17 years ago, 21-Feb-08, to lugnet.parts.mod)
   
        Re: Which glue? —Richard W. Schamus
     (...) 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 (...) (17 years ago, 21-Feb-08, to lugnet.parts.mod)
    
         Re: Which glue? —Tommy Armstrong
     (...) 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 (...) (17 years ago, 21-Feb-08, to lugnet.parts.mod)

   (...) I still swear by Goop. But I have to ask what the hec is this for? (URL) (17 years ago, 22-Feb-08, to lugnet.parts.mod)
   
        Re: Which glue? —Brian Davis
   (...) I saw that today while shopping the adhesives section of Lowe's, but didn't end up getting it (I may yet, depending on how tests go). Curiously when I mention the temperature requirement, the helpful salesperson almost laughed out loud :-). (...) (17 years ago, 22-Feb-08, to lugnet.parts.mod)

     (...) Im starting to wonder if Brian is taking up glue sniffing as a new hobby, WINK! Actually, you have my interests peaked as well... not planning a GARF (1), are you? Janey "Plays Lego at room temps, Red Brick" 1. Great Alaska Robot Fest (17 years ago, 23-Feb-08, to lugnet.parts.mod)
   
        Re: Which glue? —Chris Magno
   (...) My guess is either a wiggle light(1), or a solar tracker to heat "something." Chris 1. A Type of theatrical light used in disco's and concerts. a beam of light is projected onto a mirror. The mirror is mounted onto X/Y stepper motors that can (...) (17 years ago, 23-Feb-08, to lugnet.parts.mod)
   
        Uses for mirrored LEGO (Was: Which glue?) —Brian Davis
   (...) 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 (...)

   (...) Sounds like an interesting idea. (...) We keep sending down the cold fronts in direct proportion to the atmospherics we get from the coal burning plants in Ohio (URL) is fair ;) Chris (17 years ago, 25-Feb-08, to lugnet.parts.mod)
