Re-gluing a blade

[fedorov#91 0]

Hey see when you buy glue sticks to re-glue a blade, how do you put the glue on?

[Kovy_Ribs_Fedo 3]

glue gun.

You have to have heat gun, hair dryer, etc. Heat up the glue and put it on. Put on a genoureus amount and make sure you have some every where. Put the blade back in the shaft and let the glue dry

beat me to it

Assuming you don't have a torch or heat gun, heat the stick over a burner or element on your stove then wipe it on the blade. Make sure you roll the stick to heat all sides at the same time.

I use a hair-dryer but like how are you suppose to pick the glue up and put it on the blade

[Kovy_Ribs_Fedo 3]

Melt the glue and have your blade prepare to put the glue right on it with the glue sticks. Hope it will help you.

i use a heat gun and i just hold the glue up with my hand make sure you you hold the very bottem of the glue stick and keep the heat source far enough way that you dont burn your fingers.

Heres one way to do it (probbly not the best though.) I take the glue stick, cut it into a few pieces, then hold one piece on the tennon heat it till it sticks there, and repeat the process until all my glue is stuck to the tennon, then I heat it again until its all over the blade.

[Kovy_Ribs_Fedo 3]

Fastest way is: Hold the bottom of the stick glue, melt the top with the hair-dryer, when it's melted, put the hair-dryer on a table, hold your blade and put it on the tenon and roll the blade till you have enough glue on it. Then, remelt and put the tenon in your shaft.

I use a hair-dryer but like how are you suppose to pick the glue up and put it on the blade

Blade between your knees, dryer in one hand, glue in the other.

just use a little arts and craft glue gun,they are like $3 at an arts store and work perfectly fine,when done glueing just hold the blade over your stove at about 3 inches or 5 cm or so and heat the glue back up annd put the blade in your shaft......its alot easier than using a hair dryer or heat gun

[chippa13 1844]

Just break down and buy the glue gun. It's the easiest and cleanest method.

[Kovy_Ribs_Fedo 3]

I hate the glue gun because it takes 2-3 minutes to melt the glue each time I used it so I use glue stick with the heat gun.

[fedorov#91 0]

Hey one more question, can you use normal glue sticks(like for hot glue gun)?

[Chadd 916]

Yes, they will work fine.

if i dont have extra glue then i put a strip of tape over the blade then heat it so it melts when you put it in. it just takes up the extra space, especially if you have a blade that is not for that shaft.

[sgazi76 0]

I've used tape on every blade I've ever had. It works better (for me) than loading it up with glue.

[Kovy_Ribs_Fedo 3]

I use a stripe of tape plus glue to be sure the blade doesn't become loose.

[fedorov#91 0]

what kind of tape are yas on about?

[Kovy_Ribs_Fedo 3]

If I understand correctly

I use black tape.

[fedorov#91 0]

As in stick tape?

[J-Shera 0]

I just use normal stick tape, works fine.

[fedorov#91 0]
