Subj: Re: [kl] Epoxy for ring on tenon socket?
Date: Sun, 7 Jan 2001 07:43:41 -0500

Personally I find Loctite 680 a perfect solution to loose rings. It's not
actually an adhisive. I hardens and expands when put in an airless
situation. It precisely fills a void ut to .012"! It you ever want to
remove the ring you only heat the ring (carefully) and it melts.
