OT - Fluke 8800A/8810A Handle needed

Sam Reaves All Messages By This Member #91746 Just received a Fluke 8810A (newer model of 8800A) Bench DMM where the handle was broken (in shipment) and nothing seems to glue it. Does anyone have a handle or a case with handle from a scrap unit they would be willing to part with? The 8800A/8810A use the same handle but it is different than the one from the more common 8000A and 8010A/12A/50A etc. Thanks, Sam W3OHM
Kuba Ober All Messages By This Member #91747 开云体育 Try a “high surface energy” activator for cyanoacrylate glue. I glued some vacuum cleaner parts that way: nothing would touch them, but after some sanding with 400 grit sandpaper and application of the activator, the superglue got the parts glued within seconds – they won’t break again in the same place.?

The activator works with other glues too — try first, but I use it on tough epoxy joints as well – where I need some bulk and not just contact action.?

"... Plastics: Clean plastics, except for polycarbonate, with isopropyl alcohol to remove contamination. Sand all plastics including polycarbonate with 80-grits and paper to provide texture for good adhesion. Flame treat ABS and PVC for additional benefit. HDPE (high-density polyethylene) and LDPE (low-density polyethylene) must be flame treated for good adhesion. FLAME TREATING is a method for improving adhesion to plastics by quickly passing the flame of a propane torch across the surface after it is cleaned and sanded. Allow the blue part of the flame to touch the surface. Keep it moving at the rate of 12 inches per second. No obvious change takes place, but the flame oxidizes the surface and dramatically improves adhesion. Make multiple passes of the torch ?" apart to treat wide areas. Be careful not to melt or burn the surface. While flame treating will improve adhesion to most plastics, it appears to provide the greatest benefit to polyethylene (HDPE and LDPE). If you are unsure of the type of plastic, it doesn’t hurt to flame treat. " HTH, and 73-- Brad AA1IP
Daveolla All Messages By This Member #91752 Greetings, Awile ago I did a search for the MaterialSafety Data Sheet MSDS for the plastic activator and naptha was listed. Elsware I heard alcohol can be used. In the case of the handle, I would probably drill or slot with a dremal on both sides of the break and epoxy a piece of steel or a couple nails into one side and let it dry. Then epoxy in the other side, keeping excess glue away from the seam edge, and putting a dab of crazy glue on the seam and stick it all back together. Excess crazy glue can be sanded or scraped of later and buffed up like new. If the handle is black, a wipe with a sharpie on the part (or sharpie the end of an exacto blade with ink and put crazy glue on the knife to apply to part). When crazy glue touches the ink it will dissolve it and black glue results. At 09:28 PM 10/06/2018, you wrote: toggle quoted message Show quoted text Something like this?
