I broke the foot off a T1 Power Control a few weeks ago, but the wires hung
on. I was a bad boy and epoxied it back on. I have been properly
chastised.
Supplies used:
1 tiny piece of sandpaper (to rough up surfaces)
1 Fuji film can lid (in which to mix epoxy)
1 wooden toothpick (to mix and apply epoxy)
1 sqeeze each of two parts epoxy (which I had already)
2 rubber bands (to hold things together while the epoxy sets)
Total cost:
The rubber bands, I still have.
The sandpaper, toothpick and film can lid are gone.
A nickel's worth of epoxy maybe?
Total time:
10 minutes + 24 hours to be sure the epoxy is set
Result:
Works fine.
Prognosis:
If I break it again, I'll throw it away. I have a backup.
