Re: Shellac as adhesive?

On the subject of losing tires, was Beloki using sewups or clinchers?

Hell of a strategist, isn't he?

But he's not exactly a bad rider either. Makes my legs ache to think of all that effort.

The thinking on rec.bike.tech is tubulars (sew-ups).

My dad's been a silk-screener for 47 years. Yep, I remember raiding his shop for shellac flakes 30 years ago. My last visit to his shop tho, he was using a rubber-based adhesive.. - Times change.

My concern would be whether the shellac could hold under the amount of pressure screens endure. The old method was to use a cord in a groove, but those were always coming loose. There are some nicer aluminum frames that use a tensioning system. We did have some large screens, 12' + that may have been glued, I don't remember. They stretched so bad that we had to offset them up to 6" sometimes. The shop owner was a poor businessman and ran the place into the ground. He thought it was more important to have a lot of high paid, gorgeous do-nothings in the front office than to update his equipment and pay his printers. I did admire his taste in women.

they must use a new glue now. i have a screen i use for printing on glass that gets washed out with high pressure water. the glue used isn't affected by the water at all.

What's interesting is most US sports are "hand" oriented, and sports in the rest of the world seem to be more "foot" oriented. Of course, this is just a generalization and probably worth as much as most generalizations.

I have seen boatbuilders use thick shellac to glue in the bungs (wooden plugs) over countersunk screws. While this was then covered with paint I'm sure moisture seeps in. Seems to work ok though I've never used the method.
