Michaels milliput putty11/2/2022 ![]() The following is excellent too according to reference, but when I approached them, they could not ship to US.Įbay also has some other vendors, but the ones I found did not have high quality genuine leather, only imitated leather. #Michaels milliput putty skin#But you have to check who has the skin for your camera. The top two of my list: Both are good in communication, quality, and after sale service. Many nice, genuine, high quality leather skin vendor (I have used) would ask only $20~30, but they are not on ebay. However, pay attention to the vendor, there are other vendors asking crazy high price, (a couple of hundred $$$). I hadn’t really considered my rather generic eBay purchase as a particularly fine specimen, hence not worthy of such an investment just yet but my feelings may change - thanks for the link, shall be a useful reference.Ī $30 genuine new leather skin is a tiny investment on a working M3., or any working Leica. All clean up can be done with water while it is still pliable. If you are going up to an edge, like the baseplate, don't let it dry while attached to the baseplate, run a wet knife along the join. Then after another couple of hours it will have gone rock hard and look just like the original vulcanite. Then when it is smooth and level using the wet end of a toothpick (or similar) to press into the surface the texture that matches the surrounding vulcanite. It is a two part putty that you mix together in equal parts, so mix a small quantity and spread it into the surface you want to repair using a toothpick or similar to press it in and make sure it gets a good hold. My best advise if you weld or solder or use heat is to always Quench afterwards (cold water and fast), you then reduce the heat/time period and could if you are lucky get something that looks like a Solution Heat Treatment called -T4 hardening.Buy a pack of Black Milliput resin putty from eBay or a model shop nearby. After normal welding of hardened aluminium the strength is around 75MPa around the weld, hardened aluminium 6061-T6 is around 300 MPa, in other words the strength in the material next to the heated area is greatly reduced.Įven if you try to harden locally you will always get a border area to the originally hardened 6061-T6 that is unhardened. Go above 530 degree Celsius and let it air cool and it's gone. Go above 225 degree Celsius and the hardening begins to weaken, raise the temperature and it goes faster (it's also time dependent). I would try it if the alternative is to throw the frame away.įirst of all we are most likely dealing with Aluminium 6061-T6. The temperature is low enough to not require heat treatment afterwards if done correctly. I'm also routing all cables under the BG and have seen Sculptingman's good advice on using the putty with cables too. I was having a look at this exact stuff yesterday! I'm not sure I'm ready to glue the motor in position as it's a brand new bike and motor and I want to leave the option of going for a change of motor down the line if I feel so inclined. The white is hardest to mix as both parts are white. Something similar is £10 so it is well worth having. If it fails after that, it's perfectly fitting shape will aid another adhesive holding it in place.įactory direct so it's nice a cheap. To really join things you want to massage a bit of freshly mixed stuff on to the surface. You may loose some paint, but it's not great at gluing things together. You could forget the barriers and just glue the motor in place with the stuff. Remove your part once set, and cut away the edges to square it up. Oil or clingfilm the motor and frame so the stuff don't stick. ![]() You could make a marble sized ball and squish it in place. I like that A & B are mixed equally, allowing me to mix up very small quantities. I don't think you will do any better than this. I'm putting a BBS01 on an aluminium bike at the moment and like the idea of the epoxy clay so will go looking for something like that.
