i wanna bond a brass hing to the top plastic part of a fish tank. should i use black or grey powder for this? id love to use screws but theres no room

There doesn't seem to be a right answer because of the two types of material that you want to bond. One color is used for each. I think either would work and I think you could even mix the colors. The real bonding comes from the super glue. The powder helps with the mechanical strength of the bond. Another option is to use the grey powder to build up the plastic so you can use screws.

Screw on. Be careful with the color. I got the black one and the color is chipping off. I recommend sticking wit the stainless steel version.

For the Screw-in style nipple I used a regular paint type bucket (never used) and an 11/32 inch bit worked perfectly. I did use Teflon tape also as a precaution. If you use PVC you need a 5/16 inch bit and again use Teflon tape for a good seal. Silicone sealant has been used by some people if the tape doesn't give a full seal. Hope this helps.

I can't speak of LN950 bonding plastic to wood BUT I can tell you I used this to bond a metal cap to a brick flu chimney. Did the work back in 2008 and it is still holding strong. I would recommend this to any metal to stone work based upon my experiences. If you want to know more about all the different Liquid Nails products and what would be the best for your circumstances, here is a link to their website where you can review all their products. http://www.liquidnails.com/en-US/products/construction-adhesive-LN950 . The temperature low is 40° when applying. Hope this helps. I think Liquid Nails will no disappoint ya.

There are baffles in it so solids might get stuck over time. I used mine for grey water and got an unbaffled design tank for black water.

Just regular black peppercorns is what I use. Try loosing the brass nut at the top. If it feels tight, then it won't grind. It should be a little loose.

if you are talking about the Brass to the black metal, that should be ok. Test with a small flow, and I think you will see that is ok.

If memory serves, it expects you to use the screws from your old casing. However, I bought the black one which matched my current casing. Hope that helps.

Yes you can use for it for grey or black tank but I use mine only for grey tank

I painted mine black to match an outdoor gate using spray Vinyl Dye. It eats into the plastic a bit to actually dye the material (not just laying a layer of paint on top) and it worked with just a few coats. Cheap, easy, and the result blends in well with the installation.

I really do not know how it will react on brass. On steel it darkens up really well and looks black not blue. It is designed for gun metal/ferrious type metals. So, you might want to try something else for your brass. But hey, it might work but I really do not think it will. Sorry wish I had a better answer for oyu.

I stained mine a Gunstock color from minwax and put a clear poly coat on top. Like a previous poster mentioned, it soaked up the coating pretty well.

I always use brass that can be reloaded so I would use the nickel coated brass.

My stock had a hole already drilled in it, and had a plastic plug in it. When I popped out the plug the hole that was there wasn't big enough for the supplied screw. So, I very carefully drilled the hole out the way the directions explained. As a precaution I put a little drop of PL adhesive in it. I'm never planning on taking that screw out and figured the PL would only strengthen the screw and hole. Hope this helps. MORE IMPORTANTLY....... Be careful with the Allen screw on the barrel end, that can strip out quite easily. Don't loosen and tighten it more than once or twice, and definately use some thread lock. Hope this helps.

To glue the end caps on the uprights, any glue that adheres to PVC will suffice. I used epoxy, only because I had it available. Only a small amount is needed. Drill the holes where the two pieces of PVC intersect. Make sure that the drill bit is properly sized for the screws.

It should be. Regardless, you should go for a brass finish, from my experience brass has been the easiest to stick to.
