Re: Too Much Fear

Yep solvent based contact cement leaves little room for error!

I have used the water based version to attach the mylar to the stator assembly. This would be a critical connection since any shift in the contact cement would allow the mylar to loose tension. I also use this for assembly of the spacers etc.

I find the water based does just as good a job as the solvent based, it just takes a bit more time to set-up. I have just started using the water based so I have no long-term results to report. The latest pair of panels I built are in transit to another individual for evaluation. They will be disassembled for inspection and mylar tension will be a key area of evaluation.

If we find failures in any of the structure of the panel, I will switch back to solvent based. This works perfect with no degradation to the mylar film. It is just more of a hassle to use!
