What glue to use to reattach powder cylinder?
Quote from Reloader on February 3, 2013, 3:59 pmHiya,
After 20 some odd years the plastic powder cylinder has separated from the powder measure. I tried 3m weather strip adhesive but it didn't hold well. Does anyone know the suggested adhesive to use? I ask because some will attack the plastic and make it weak.

Either way, use solvent to clean the inside of the metal ring that the tube fits into. Apply two large drops of glue, opposite of each other, inside the ring. Press the tube in place, twist halfway around and back to spread the glue. Secure with a wrap of tape to hold it in place, let dry overnight.
