Title: how to repair flats
Post by: Scott Johnson on April 23, 2013, 11:22:37 PM

Here is a challenge for all of us: how does one repair a flat? Broken spear/rifle, a horse separated from its base, and so on. I have tried with glues, but they cannot hold the repair. If broken are they simply gone forever?n :'(

Hi Scott
Some very skilled people can use solder
I can't :(
So I use Araldite, a double component glue
It works but the question is to keep the parts in place waiting for the glue to dry !

I have written in the old forum, a contribution to the rebuilding of soldering and figures. :o
It is a simple technology. (12-14Volt DC output) from a transformer, two Dräten a fine-liners "pencil".
Soldering point, it's like a fire or electric welding by contact.
work very accurate, without soldering iron!! ::)

Unfortunately, I tried to look for this, unfortunately I'm not on the old side of the forum. The contributions are lost?
Does anyone have this post with pictures? :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
How do I get my contribution .... :-\ :-\

Sadly kind of iffy Wofgang.  The old site is currently offline and I have not had a chance to try to figure out what is up. 


I will try to find what you submitted previously which I can do if you can provide me with something like the name of one of the pictures?  Just send me it in a message here if you can and I will take a look in the database and see if I can reconstruct it here.

Here I have to contribution on the topic soldering and rebuild of figures for you.
 ;D :o :o :o :o :o
1.
Transformer with DC 12-16 V
Fine Liner Pen with Kolephoniom (Graphit) mines
Who feasible a hard-write mine!
a red and a black wire
[attach=1]
2.
gebochene figures, the vorberitete pin with the attached cable (black)
a clamp
[attach=2]
3.
attach the red cable to clamp to figure
[attach=3]
4.
Correct geometry of the parts on an underground brenbren not (here soldering ceramic plate)
[attach=4]
5-6.
The connecting of the two parts.
Caution!
It could be created by soldering gases warming the Koefhoniom mine
an insulated handpiece I would recommend (very rapid warming)
[attach=5]
7.
Figure with a stranger capita  :) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)
[attach=6]
