Adhesives versus welding for marine applications
20 days agoTECHSiL and 3M are challenging some long-held assumptions about how boats should be assembled and repaired. Welding and riveting will remain essential across the marine industry. However, they are no longer the only credible options available to designers, builders and repair professionals.
Threadlockers versus Thread Sealant: What
34 days agoTwo bolts fail on the same machine in the same week, and neither was assembled with an anaerobic adhesive. One backs itself out of a housing that vibrates all day. The other stays put but weeps coolant from the threads. Same fastener, same torque spec, two completely different problems. As the experts at Permabond explain, the fix for one is not automatically the fix for the other.
