HELP - Broken grille, Philco Tropic 41-758EZ
#16

So far, so good. The three repaired breaks in the grillebar are holding.

I did not get one of the breaks aligned just right, so one side of the break pokes out a bit. Oh well. As long as it holds together, at this point I will be satisfied.

I have just glued the grille bar to the main frame. We shall see tomorrow how it turns out. Still keeping those fingers crossed!

Sorry, no pictures. The work was tedious enough without stopping to take a picture at every move.

I'm not using J-B Weld this time. I found a product made by Loctite - Metal and Concrete Epoxy, that has aluminum in it. So far (knocking wood), it is holding much better than J-B. The 42-788 dial pointer I repaired was a trial run for this product, and it worked extremely well; better than I expected. Icon_thumbup
