guys

i got a few cracks in my tritium keychain

on the thin end, i already broke one when it broke the tritium vial there

any tips for fixing it without making it too ugly?

i can slap on epoxy gluel

heh i dont have normal epoxy resin anymore :(

its transaparent at least

the keychain is hexagonal

uh oh

glueing on something hollow in hex shap ecould work

leaking tritium

better get the geiger counter

call cnn

:3

nah its not hazardous

I know

lol

unless you crack it below yoru nose and inhale deeply

This is true for many things

soo

any idea to fix it?

something transparent would be nice

No idea

Maybe print a shell?

I'm still not sure how it's broken

a new shell around the tritium?

no crazy

well

the short end has a few cracks

and the short end is what cracked and broke the vial

oh cool i want that too

i give you teh prodcut page link

if you tell me how to fix mine without making it look horrible

;)

... maybe i should build a few by myself .. unbreakable :D

well dunno, what material is yours

get some glas rod, and epoxy them into it woudl be nice

ah doh .. first link are only 3 pieces, thought that where 10 .. forget it

cehteh: yeah you can buy the vials

too expensive

look harder

the keychain is 15ish euro

yes

but eh

well 13

you got any idea for glueing mine?

some for 8.99 or cheaper

or is there anythng metallic with a hollow hex inside?

not really .. what material is it exactly

plastic of course

exactly

epoxy, pmma, polycarbonate ...

ohh hollow pipe wih hex inside :3

heh

maybe i just get a piece of thick pipe and file out a hex

or just grind it dowen, round

hm?

how

and then epoxy it into some glas like the ones i shown above

heh no

i have no epoxy

only opaque epoxy glue

hey come on epoxy is easy to get

epoxy resin?

yeah like 20-25 for 1kg

i could send you a bit glass clear .. but postage is rather more expensive than you buy it for yourself

i dont have access to a cheap source anymore

epoxy resin and harder?

yes .. i have a lot :D

oh yes youre right

i can remove a part of the hex

and put a piece of pipe over it

but i wont use ir for the surface, i'd rather put it in a glass viol

cehteh: cool

glass breaks even easier :v

cehteh: dont you live near nebuk?

nah not when filled with epoxy

yes

then you can hammer it

ohhh

cool

oh well since now and then i see him

really

im baiting him to coem to belgium after his thesis is done

yes really

he can bring you some epoxy too .. he has some also

and you grind your key chain tihngy down by putting into a drillin machine and then use sandpaper

mmmmmmmmmmmm good idea

thanks

wel yeah i figure we can find a mule for the epoxy ;)

i wonder what ring i can put over the keychain

i could just put epoxy glue over it

then file it off so it doesnt protrude

shop.hp-textiles.com : Epoxidharz für Verklebungen, Epoxidharze| HP-Textiles

i recommend that one

160gr :o

over here small quantities are incredibly expensive

and rare

yes i usually order 1.6kg from that kind

oh look cehteh http://www.hetwinkelweb.be/handelaar/detail/van...

www.hetwinkelweb.be : Handelaar - Het Winkelweb

local belgian prices!

shop.hp-textiles.com : Epoxidharz zum Laminieren, Epoxidharze| HP-Textiles

thats 1.6kg

i could fill a bit into small containers and send you .. but thats 5Eur postage too

the advantage of that I posted is that i know it well, it is glass clear, has good glueing properties, hardens hard-elastic (non brittle)

yeah you wnat elasticity

heh

only 5 euro shipping?

dunno was just a guess

i look it up
