Hi Mike

I did try the 3M 77 first, but I guess I didn't give enough time to 'tack' before joining. I moved on to my brainstorm to use the CA glue. I'll use the 77 from now on. There was smoke drifting up from the joint, I was stuck to it, and could only look longingly at my filter mask and disposable gloves while thinking 'I wish I had those on'.
