I have use J-B WELD type J-B KWIK glues with good results on HF coils,
e.g. BC-610, SP-600, etc. Its a 2-part epoxy and holds up very well. etc. I have noticed no de-tuning or changes in inductance that is detectable. Given what you have, would not a super-glue also do the job? Smokey wrote: I have an oscillator coil that is a standard fiberglas tube with a threaded iron slug that moves inside. Outside of the coil is windings of #22 wire. While servicing the radio the coil inadvertently was broken midway down the fiberglass core. The #22 wire windings are intact and the two broken fiberglass coil sections matefairly well without too much wobble or play. I really...REALLY...don't want to replace this coil if at all possible. Does anyone have any recommendations for something I can wrap or paint on the whole coil to reinforce it while providing little or no detuning. I've thought of hot glue guns, epoxy, fiberglass tape or some of that new liquid electrical tape but I am interested in what the group thinks. Thanks a lot! Smokey |
