Don't do it! Superglue solvent & MFJ vinyl coating.....
I was having a problem keeping my station accesories
arranged in a neat order. I figured a drop of superglue
here and there would keep things where I need them
and if I ever needed to break the glue, well, that's what
acetone is for.
I glued an item to the side of my MFJ SWR meter then
a few months later, needed to make a change. The joint
"popped" easily but I was left with unsightly residue.
I soaked the part in acetone and sure enough, the dried
superglue started to turn to rubber. I checked the part
every 5 minutes but I didn't check often enough to catch
MFJ's vinyl top coat from coming loose!
D'oh!
Now I'm off to the store to buy a nice can of black
crinkle coat spray paint.
Moral of the story - use velcro!
