mixing ACC and Goo (or contact cement)

[PRR Man]

I need to create a shock resistant bond for some items that I cannot solder. ACC joints do not reliably resist shock.

I've heard tell of some of you using ACC glue with Goo cement, but need to know more particulars about it.
Is it mixed together prior to joining? Is the ACC applied to the Goo surface before-during-after bonding?

Film of Goo on the porous surface; CA on the other surface. Join together, they have a little party, sing a little song, do a little dance, and it's done.

The "film" of GOO is the tricky part...

Only for the ham-handed.....and there are even fine tip applicators for those individuals plagued by ineptitude and failed coordination due to their advanced age, decrepit condition, and with a diagnosis of dry rot.

Have we met???
So, where does one obtain a fine tip applicator for GOO?

Was I referring to you? Did you feel singled out? Do you feel picked on? Do you need a puppy? Do you really have a diagnosis of dry rot or any other infirmities listed? Ok, no puppies for you!

Same place you buy Goo. There's a pack of plastic tips that are actually curved - 3 or 5 in the pack. For all I know you can get them, directly from Walthers. Wait......the tips that I sell for CA that are about .3mm ID at the tip work.

I use special wooden ones from a toothpick container.

By inference...
Did you feel singled out? Do you feel picked on?
No, other than comradeship of others of my advanced years
Do you need a puppy?
Nope. Had one that grew into a highly independent German Shepherd, who regards me as somehow her servant
Do you really have a diagnosis of dry rot or any other infirmities listed? Ok, no puppies for you!
Maybe not dry rot (?). Otherwise, yes.

Retirement seems to agree with you Rufus.

Perhaps,

Although cutting up the pine tree that was uprooted in the last storm was sort of disagreeable, yet the trusty Stihl reduced it to something manageable,

Hard to see if there is a difference....

There are none so blind as those that refuse to see other than that which they choose to see.

And, those puppies are definitely not headed your way.......time for a new coat!

Truth!

Thanks Mates for the help, and snarky repartee.
Apologize for the delay back here. Been without power, phones, DSL days from the storm... due to a generous gesture by my neighbors tree cracking in half and yanking everything off the house.

Feels like the 70's again
