Freezer draw update.

2 part Apoxie has been applied - detailed investigation of cracks showed that liquid Expoy wasn't gonna cut it and would be a major PITA to apply.

Now just gotta leave it alone for 3 days to fully cure and see how it does.

If it doesn't cure and hold fast, or does cure but then doesn't fare well under freezer temps, I'll have to just go buy the expensive replacement part.

Fingers crossed ! 🤞🏾😒

Thanks for your help everyone.

Freezer draw was dropped so now has massive crack down front & half way through the bottom

Finding a spare to buy is proving.. challenging

I have 2 part #Apoxie, can I use it to repair crack or is having cured apoxie in the freezer full time a bad idea?

(Please don't make me regret asking y'all for help)

I also have some liquid 2 part #Epoxy compound but don't think that will be strong enough for the bottom of the draw?

:sigh:

The glider now has 12 pounds of lead shot and epoxy added to dead space in the very end of the tail boom.

My initial estimate of volume indicated that I could add 8 - 10 pounds this way. I'm pleasantly surprised, and I didn't make a chocolate covered mess of things as I was pouring this goop into the tail.

I need to add a few more pounds to the tail. Phase two of this project will use lead plate, bolted to the vertical fin spar. (I need to unroll the 1/4-inch plate first, then develop a template to cut the lead.)

I could not add the epoxy/lead shot mix all at once because of the exothermic reaction of epoxy. When mixed epoxy is in a thick blob (instead of a thin layer), it generates enough heat to warm itself...which accelerates the chemical reaction...releasing more heat...further accelerating the reaction.... I have seen epoxy smoking hot because of this, so I added a bit, waited a half hour, checked temperature with an IR non-contact thermometer, added a bit more when it was clear that the exotherm was only very mild, etc. That took a while, but turned out well.

I note that Roto Metals has a discount on some 1-inch lead plate. Get your fork lift ready. No free shipping!
