Message: <blockquote data-quote="Farris" data-source="post: 846875" data-attributes="member: 2820">Bandage experiment notes:This morning I took a stab at applying/reinforcing the back piece with some 3d printed strips. I attempted with both solid and intentionally porous. I'm chemical welding with MEK substitute.Method:Very similar to laying fiberglass. Brush chemical onto the piece, lay the bandage, brush more chemical on top, press into place. It can take a couple of minutes so just keep going back and forth pressing.I did find that the porous ones worked better for me because they won't trap air bubbles and brushing on extra was easier because it soaked into both the bandage and the part.Pros:1. It does work and bond relatively well2. The reinforcement does work.Cons:1. This does smell. Do this in a ventilated area2. It will leak everywhere and is not very viscous. Definitely rotate your part so the area you're reinforcing is at the bottom.Would I use this method for general assembly? Absolutely not. It's way too slow and CA works just fine for that purpose. Does it give me peace of mind on thin parts? Yes.Picture below. Still needs some trimming but enough to get the idea [ATTACH]350881[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
