Members bullmoosepaddles Posted May 13, 2018 Members Report Posted May 13, 2018 @SonydazeGreat thank you. I did a Google search that was the first one I found. I need one, so that will save me a few bucks. Many thanks Quote
Contributing Member fredk Posted May 13, 2018 Contributing Member Report Posted May 13, 2018 (edited) Right, so those massive pliers will help you to release mildly stuck c/s, but not ones glued together Now, if [theres always an if] the OP had used paint to lock the threads, the paint could have been softened by the soldering iron heat, or if he used super-glue either the heat or a few drops of acetone/nail varnish remover soaked into the c/s joint would have done the job Edited May 13, 2018 by fredk Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..
Members TomG Posted May 13, 2018 Author Members Report Posted May 13, 2018 Yeah.. I've done th e Loctite Blue and the superglue, but this customer says they keep coming loose. I think he's not being 100 percent straight with me, so Red it is. If he still loses screws, then he's fired. I've already done that once but he can't find anyone else stupid enough to do these so I took o e more order from him. Already regretting it Quote Tom Gregory Legacy Leathercraft www.legacyleathercraft.com www.etsy.com/shop/legacyleathercraft
Contributing Member fredk Posted May 13, 2018 Contributing Member Report Posted May 13, 2018 I'm wondering if he means by becoming loose, the whole Chicago Screw is able to move, not that they are unscrewing? You put them on tight in the leather work shop, but after a few days/weeks the leather dries a bit and shrinks allowing the C/s to be looser than when you fitted it [?] I had something similar when I riveted bosses on to some shields. I did them real tight but after a couple of months the bosses felt loose, there was about half to three-quarters of a mm between the boss rim and the wood shield. The wood had dried and shrunk. In that case I just peened the rivets some more to tighten them Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..
Members TomG Posted May 13, 2018 Author Members Report Posted May 13, 2018 Not shrinkage. He said they are coming out. He resells them, so... Quote Tom Gregory Legacy Leathercraft www.legacyleathercraft.com www.etsy.com/shop/legacyleathercraft
Members bullmoosepaddles Posted May 13, 2018 Members Report Posted May 13, 2018 I do not know, but does Loctite work well on brass? Just a thought. I use the blue wood to leather with nickel plated Chicago screws all the and never had a problem. Any answers will be appreciated. As I have never used brass screws before. Quote
