Hi -
I purchased Sankey's 3 Ring Circus about 1 year ago. Now I'm modifying some stainless steel key rings, and I'm having trouble finding a suitable adhesive to stick the components of the gimmicked ring together. I've tried Superglue (a few types) and it keeps separating.... What adhesive should I use?? Thanks for your help!! sdmagic |

Hiya, SD:
Part of the problem is the low surface area to adhesive ratio -- there just isn't a lot for the glue to grab onto in order to bond. If you can increase the size of the bonding area, you may be able to achieve a successful glue joint. Alternatively, if all of the components are stainless steel, you might want to solder them together instead. Solder, like cyanoacrylate adhesives, is not by itself a strong structural component, but in a tightly fitted joint with sufficient surface area it will produce a long-lasting repair. Small pieces may be satisfactorily joined with an electric soldering iron, silver solder, and silver solder flux -- all available at Home Depot or Ace Hardware. Best of luck, Leland |

Thanks Bryan and Leland! I think I'm going to find a talented jeweler and ask him/her to solder the thing together. Probably won't cost that much, and hopefully will last a long long time!
