what a smashing day, spent it in the shed. I had watched Woody's tutorial on serpentines and had a go at making five (found a good source for
.5 ali) Anyway I asked the wife to get me some glue which she dutifully did, couldn't get my normal so got arildite. Blanks cut glued and ready to be drilled,
all going well. Start to drill, things then took a bad turn and I now have a bundle of scrap as the glue wasn't strong enough. LESSON learnt stick to
the tried and tested. :sob::sob::sob:

Did you sand your ally to give the glue a good key because it has a polished finish and if you dont sand it then you will always run the risk of it coming apart
