Re: Gluing Plastics
Scott,
Excellent advice! I believe I recently heard of an explosion of a TCBOR
type cap in Oklahoma from just such a solvent explosion. The capacitor was
not shorted, but the glued on end cap dented a building's metal roof.
luckily, no one was injured.

Hi All,
On the subject of gluing plastics; I just want to remind those
that are beginning to experiment with plastics to not use a solvent
based glue to adhere the end caps on a secondary. The problem
comes in that you end up trapping fumes inside the tube. It is a
potentially explosive situation. Use epoxy to glue the caps on the
secondary's ends. It is OK to use solvent based glues everywhere
else.
