Cunning Plan

Post by Big Jim » Wed Mar 15, 2017 10:26 pm

A little trick for re-sticking glazing sheets that have come loose in a coach with a fixed roof.

The offending article
Image

Use normal PVA glue to stick a screw to the glass. Leave until well set.

Image

Apply glue in the relevant places and position with the screw.

Image

When the glue is set, twist the screw to remove and gently pick off the PVA.

Job done.

If at first you don't succeed, use a bigger hammer!

Love it - more please everyone!

I would share my 'bluetack on a screwdriver' one but I've seen that it action on here already - I am on the lookout for a gripping screwdriver that I saw on James May's 'The Assembler' TV programme - a good watch.

He acquired it off fleabay but said there were limited stocks - looked perfect for many 16mm tasks - especially when you have very 1:1 hands!
Where did I put that uncoupler?

Thats ok, I ordered myself one too earlier as I have been meaning to get one for the last couple of years and kept putting it off, then watching them sell out, but with your inspiration, I now have one coming as well :)
