Will Arnold Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 i was thinking would cotton wool in glue make it less prone to breaking when set? i was watching a composite programme in college and there was this sheet of ice, they hit it with a hammer, it broke (obviously) they then got out a piece of ice with cotton wool inside it, it took about 4 times the amount of stress that the normal ice took before it broke. thats where i got the idea for putting it in glue. it works the same way that carbon fibre works. would this work? if not, why? cheers :ermm: Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 I guess the cotton wool made the ice a bit more flexible. So if the glue we`re talking about was brittle, yep, guess it would improve it by adding flexibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
011001000110010101110010 Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 (edited) Putting cotton wool in the glue to glue your lockring on won't have much effect. The lockring only holds the sprocket in place, does not take any huge forces to warrant cotton wool. Just glue it.
