Subject: Europa-List: Araldite 420 A
Hi All,
following my recent twisting of the tail-wheel spring-arm I had to remove t
he same from the fuselage, which turned out to be a simple task. The Araldi
te 420 could be softened up in stages with a heat-gun and dug out with an o
ld wood chisel. I then pulled out the spring-arm after removing the inside
bolt, which was bent as well. Straightening out the twisted
tail-spring required the use of a strong vise as well as a longish piece of
pipe, but was also fairly easy. I then proceeded to re-assemble everything
, after proper sanding and cleaning the area, and finally used a very smal
l amount of Araldite 420 which I had kept in a small glass jar, with a bit
of hardener in a small bottle, mixed it well with some flox, and applied it
around the spring where it passes through the hole . Unfortunately, either
the Araldite, or the hardener ( more likely) seems to have expired , and t
he glue has not cured and will have to be cleaned out again.
Can anyone sell a small amount of Araldite and hardener to me, not more tha
n 50g is needed.
I will, of course, buy a larger amount.
