sciencetoymaker | Part 13 Build a Putt Putt/Pop Pop Steam Boat s10glue @sciencetoymaker | Uploaded January 2009 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Part 13 is Step 10, is actually gluing the aluminum so it keeps its new shape. You should watch the whole step before starting because you only have 5 minutes once you mix the two parts together (less if it's hot). You should have equal parts and mix thoroughly. Dab it on the silver parts even where the silver disappears, especially the ends. It's really important to push the epoxy in between the folds of aluminum with the strip, for strength and to prevent leaks. NEW, NOT IN THE VIDEO: THANKS TO JIM WYNHOFF AND OTHERS FOR THE TIP THAT YOU CAN CLEAN UP STICKY EPOXY WITH VINIGAR!
