I was thinking of using some iron filings mixed in with the glue,might work?
I'm thinking at one time there was a product called "liquid solder"..maybe by lock-tite or bondo?

Only that we are yet again on the verge of the apocalypse, with all the wars going on that could easily expand.

wow, electrically conductive super glue for electrical wires. Never heard of it, but I'd buy it!
Hurry and get a patent on this idea, it could make you rich!

Communications Tower / any alternatives to hot solder?
« Last post by cook on October 11, 2023, 05:41:27 AM »
I have a tub full of old solar yard lights I was dicking around with last weekend.They never last the night,so I was going to either piggyback some extra batteries,or extra panels just to see if it would work.Not much room in the for an iron.
Learned many moons ago,back when they had shop class,had to use flux as they didn't have rosin core solder then.
Anyway,I did a search to see if there is something new out,kinda like a super glue for electrical connections..I know I suck on the computer,so have ya'll seen anything like that,or know a hack?Just a couple small wires to a P.C. board,or the battery holder,just not much room.if I had 3 hands I might be able to use the iron.
Any thoughts? O0

My moms side of the family has been in east Tennessee since the late 1700's. I've always dreamed of moving there in retirement. I have lots of distant relatives there but know very few of them.

My wife keeps telling me it's a nice place to vacation but she does not want to live there.

Yeah, your wife is correct. My moms family is also from middle Tennessee but I havent seen any since I was a kid. Its a great place but coming from Florida its just way too sedate.

Wow, that's great! Nice when you get a deal!

I'm like that guy. When I want something gone, I just want it gone.  I always sell stuff too cheap, or just give it away. That moves it quick so I don't have to deal with countless callers, hagglers, tire kickers and such.

Thats me.... I dont have the patience to deal with all that.
