Derf Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 We just removed the oil fired water heater from my father's basement. The darn thing was so heavy (when empty) we had to be three to move it up the stairs. When we removed the pipes, some black goo got out, it was disgusting. I think my father was way overdue to change it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jnshapiro Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Mechanical thoughts--1.You can not bond or glue anything to delrin or acetal Yes you can. I've successfully used epoxy and superglue on delrin rod. I use it in pipe making. I also like cigars. I'm smoking one now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jnshapiro Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 We might be moving to VT before the year is out. It's got me concerned. I'd really like to make the move. Maybe I'll get certified to teach snowboarding and skiing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boarderboy Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Just bought son's first surfboard (a 6' softy) on ebay. Built a Boogie board from one of Morey's early kits - 30+ (?) years ago. Still have that original sponge. Wife applying for jobs in Toronto and Vermont. Few waves but WAY more snow than NC. One way or another, it's time to ride!

C5 Golfer Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Yes you can. I've successfully used epoxy and superglue on delrin rod. I use it in pipe making.I also like cigars. I'm smoking one now. True -- but do you realize that the bond of the two materials is around 4-6% of the shear strength of the base material Delrin? Usually any temperature change with two dissimilar materials will break that bond just thru coefficient of thermal expansion. And you are smoking delrin-- is that a good thing for your lungs? Just as an experiment bond your delrin rod to an aluminum plate and after the bond cures, stick the assembly in your freezer. Check it after an hour so. Betcha you have two parts again.

Justin A. Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 We might be moving to VT before the year is out. Hey, us too! Where are you heading to? If it happens, we'll be in Montpieler while I'm attending NECI for the next two years or so...hope to see you around! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skipuppy Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 I'm in Vermont right now I hope you don't have to move though. Even if you'll have a mountain fifteen minutes away you will still be living in the middle of nowhere. Maybe that is what you are looking for after Sacramento but I like being close to good airports and ethnic foods. Also, driving two hours to get to Tahoe is totally worth the terrain and snow conditions compared to fifteen minutes for dirt. (sorry bad season) What the post was ACTUALLY about and to stay in line with the thread (sorry) is that as of twenty minutes ago I am now done with the Spring Semester. and happy happy happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnshapiro Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 If we move to Vermont, it'll be to North Bennington or Shaftsbury. We kinda like being out in the middle of nowhere. Much prefer it to the more crowded city life. Considering the application I use delrin with, I'm either bonding it to briar (the root burl of a heath tree) or to lucite or vulcanite. I haven't had any trouble with it coming apart. The delrin is acting as the tenon or a mortise lining in a mortise-tenon joint in the shank of the pipe. Works great in that application. I find the superglue that I use (one of the industrial varieties) to work well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnshapiro Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 I just spent $600 to get a new pump for my pool and installation. I hope we don't end up moving until after summer is over so that we can use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like being out in the country alot, I grew up in conditions like that (until the recent population boom in my home area) and then I moved to the city end of March...between the cityness and the culture differences here, I just can't take it and I'm leaving at the end of the semester (June 8th) and heading back to New England to finish school. We'll have to hook up and ride this winter...and get out on some mountain bikes all year round! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Pushee Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 Me too. In early June, I will close on a new house in Plymouth, NH. Now that I'm retired, I won't have to worry about commuting to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
