MAS863 | Fall 2005

Assignment:

Materials and Joining

Project:

• Experiment with a few bonding materials

Tasks:

1. I placed a flicker safety light into melted,

   Hot-Melt Reusable Peel-Away Coating Style E, 1 lb, 350 Degree F Dipping Temerature
      7762T11    $4.57 Each.

I used the bottom of a cut-off soda can.  The light did not fair too well as it began to melt as I placed it into the Hot-Melt.  I can't seem to get it to turn on either.

2. I dipped a pair of pliers into some

1.5 Ounce, Clear Multipurpose Solvent-Based Rubber Coating (Same as 9560T7)
      9560T77    $7.94 Each

It is difficult to see the coating on the pliers.  I also applied some to a pair of cotton gloves to create "grip-gloves" and that seemed to work pretty well.
