Gluing holds
April 25, 2005, 08:45:05 pm
What's the best way to glue a hold that's about to break? There's a small flake on a problem I've been trying recently, and it's flexing by a couple of millimetres when it's weighted. It's a crucial hold, and it's a very fine problem (apart from the loose hold!), so it would be a shame if it broke. Araldite? Sica?

wait till it breaks then see what it is like may still be useable.  check the joker thread for how not to do it. just try to make it invisible if you do do it.

I would sugest Araldite as it's resin based, a bit like POF!

I could always go there on Thursday and pull my weight on it, that should do the trick.
