Thanked: 61Question on using metal liners for the wedge
So every time I've use liners the metal splinter shavings get lodges into the wedge material... Leaving a messy line between the two materials... So I have to take the wedge completely apart, clear away the spinsters of metal still hanging on to the liner, sand it smooth, then reassemble... Any tips or pointers?

Thanked: 13246Form the wedge with a belt sander if available at a 120 grit or so belt, fine fit with a 240 grit belt, final sand and polish with 400 grit and higher sandpaper by hand...
Always final sand by hand and it will eliminate most issues with finishes and razors

.. from my (limited) experiences the heat is going to be a problem, when I used epoxy also, so I suggest you sand and take care of not heating it. Also superglue (CA and epoxy do not smell the same)... if I'm wrong on anything feel free correct me !

Epoxies will have problems with heat as well. The highest temp epoxy that I know of for "reasonable" money is Cotronics. I have used one of theirs that is good to about 500F for supersonic rockets. At $12-15/oz. (unfortunately you must mix the whole ounce) it is a bit pricey but hey its rocket science!

Thanked: 13246Once again in the original thread, you will find the answer
In that one thread original Gorilla Glue is mentioned specifically because it works well with the heat buildup
In other threads you will find much the same
CA and Epoxy tend to come apart, and most use Adhesives, e6000, T-???? can't remember the number at the moment, but most high quality General Adhesives tend to work the best.. I am sure there are exceptions to the general rule

Don't know what you did wrong, perhaps a different type, the biggest reason for fail using Gorilla Glue is not using a damp surface..
I find e6000 to be the easiest now, another that is available easily is called Beacon Multi Grip Glue both of these require nothing special in fact you can simply use a Alligator Clip as a clamp and they will work..
