lexan or try thick C.A glue

Thick CA or Epoxy. Lay it flat on a table between two sheets of waxed paper and put some weight on it overnight while it cures.

Shoe Goo is best. it stay's a little flexable so it wont break off when it gets hit you can find it at your local hobby shop.

Hi, I am new in the forum and I need a hand.
A carbon anode of a desilvering unit has broken in two halves, which cement or glue must I use to join it?
I hope I could find a solution with your help.

and i am guessing you need to replace the kanibler pin on your johnson mechanism and then re-attach it to your flux capacitor...... lol

Most likely the anode your dealing with has a ceramic mix base so most any cyanocrylate ( CA ) glue should work, I prefer the Loctite brand gel it leaves less flash and residue.

Problem is that the CA will probably act as an insulator film between the 2 carbon parts. I don't think CA is a good electrical conductor material.

Thank very much for your aid FL Flash and you rhodopsine.
I have found a suitable glue, it is the Graphi-Bond 551-RN of AREMCO.
Doughboy, наверно ты такой валтум как и себе представляешь, also my english is not so good...

Good point did'nt think of that? Hopefully what he found will work. Kinda curious why he doesent just replace the anode?

I,m real curious as to what his comment was to Doughboy???

True, CA's or epoxy will bond the anode, but the pH of the fixer flowing around the repair will erode the bond in no time flat, plus it will kill the elecctrical current to that anode, hurting your desilvering effecincey. Your best bet is to get a new anode...Sounds like you may need to replace them all.

Not to turn a how to bond a graphite thread into a silver recovery thread...
