Fun chemical reaction I discovered while epoxying…

I had super glued the crack just to hold it in basic shape while mixing epoxy. When I applied said epoxy (loctite hysol), the superglue started smoking like crazy with a rapid exothermic reaction.

I like to think it fused the plastic together.

Interesting

I’d worry that all the polymer chains weren’t made in the epoxy if some of the ingredients were being used for reacting with the cyanoacrylate.

But very interesting

Try putting crazy glue on a cotton ball or wool…

Yeah it started catalyzing the epoxy immediately and it was solidifying immediately. Chipped it off and started fresh.

@Nomad one time in middle school, my super cool Hollister hemp belt started fraying and I super glued the fray to stop it and it burned a hole in my shirt on the way to school :sob:

Isn’t the back piece on the first picture reversed? If you tighten the hex bolt the nut will be pulled out?

Yes it is, thanks for poiting it out! Photos were taken in a rush, next time ill double check them. It should be like the normal panel mount. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: Will arrange a new image.

I am not 100% sure…

I did not back track on the trail to go find it…
I think I may have moved 20 or 50 meters before realizing it was gone…

This is my quess.

The wheels sprocket hit a rock just right breaking the chain…

Lots of rocks like that on that little trail…

Or maybe that is the exciting story and all that that happened was my master link came loose… No half links on this time.

That’s a good information to know and good the chain just dropped when broke.

So @Andy87
Earlier in the day yesterday I did something different…
I put the board in my car and drive to a park to ride a mountain bike specific trail.

It was crazy hard…
Narrow… Twisty and rocky as hell…
Pictures don’t do it justice.

I had to walk next to my board and pick it up a bunch of times…

And in no time I was drenched in sweat.

But it was kind of fun and definitely a challenge I want to explore more…

The chain broke in the familiar trailer near my house…
And I was able to ride back with just one chain no problems…
