I have a project that requires securing lead to plywood. Would a
methacrylate adhesive be suitable for this? Thank you.


I doubt it. There are usually very different expansion rates between
metals and woods. I think I'd try using a sturdy lead alloy (antimony
is a common additive) for the shield and holding it onto the wood with
screws, John.


Ayup..couldnt be pure lead..its like taffy with a hard on.
Wheelweights would be a good ally to start with, going up to printers
alloys like linotype.

The methodology of the left has always been:

1. Lie
2. Repeat the lie as many times as possible
3. Have as many people repeat the lie as often as possible
4. Eventually, the uninformed believe the lie
5. The lie will then be made into some form oflaw
6. Then everyone must conform to the lie
