I have been experimenting with metal epoxy and so far have had great results. I am epoxying the tops on my test blocks. The Aluminum block I tested last was held together with epoxy and is still on the sytem running 24/7. No probs at all. I was wondering what you all think about iot as I would like to use it on my final product that I sell.

I just epoxied the top on my Copper block and it is sturdy as can be. I milled the sides of it just fine and it is 100% sealed tight inside and out.

What I was thinking for the final version is I would epoxy the top on and then on the sides in the middle I would drill/tap a hole and put a screw on both sides just in case.

Soldering is a pain in the ass compared to this way. heat dosn't really matter for the top piece.

Comments?
