I enjoy reading all the comments but apologize that
there are so many I can’t answer individually. I’m delighted that my
new videos have been so enthusiastically received, which is reflected in
the majority of the comments. The videos aren’t perfect though so below
each video I’ve compiled the comments about things I omitted or people
thought were misleading. A few comments added wonderful additional
information so I’ve included them as well.
One suggestion for re-sealing cartridge glues was to
unscrew the nozzle, put a couple of layers of clingfilm over the join and
then screw it back in again.
Apologies that at one point I said PVA was Polyvinyl
Alcohol, when it is Polyvinyl Acetate.
A suggestion for preventing PVA glue joints from
slipping out of position when clamping was to add a few grains of salt. I
haven't tried it but can see it could help.
As a reference for what glue to use a site called 'thistothat.com'
is easy to use and concise.
Hot glue can also be used for temporary work holding,
using alcohol (methylated spirit) to remove it when
done.
E6000 says on the label that it is banned in the state
of California as a known carcinogen. When I first read it, I have to admit
I felt this showed the glue must be good. If used in large amounts, the
vapour can cause liver cancer so its best to use it outdoors.
