Bonding (glue?) Q

Nov 02, 2007 3 Replies

I've got a little laser pointer from Radio Shack, send a laser across the floor, my Crazy Birddawg does 0-90 mph in 2.3 picoseconds. More fun than a boxcar fulla monkeys.



The actuator in the laser in down inside a little aperture. There's a tiny (under 1/4 ") button that sits on top. Of course, after a while, the button falls out and the laser won't work.



The actuator is rough metal. The button is chrome, and almost too small to grasp with the fingers. They are comparable diameter. How to re-bond the 1 to the other?



So far, about all I can come up with is 2-sided carpet tape.



Any suggestions?



Thx, Puddin'

Teeny tiny drop of superglue or epoxy.

Looks to me that the 2-sided tape was the best solution 'cause with any liquid glue you're running the risk of permanently freezing the button.

Not if you glue the laser down onto the button. Or glue the button up onto the laser.
