bond brass torch knob
The O2 adjusting knob in the middle of my Victor torch keeps falling off.
Its a spline and originally had a light press fit. I buggered the spine with a vice grip and stuck it back on a few times over the years. That trick ain't gonna work anymore. How would you bond it so it still could be disassembled if needed? Karl |

Karl Loctite (or other brand) thread locker. Get one of the semi-permenent ones, you can still remove it if you heat it to something like 400 degrees. |
