I have a can of Liquid Wrench lithium grease or WD-40 brand silicone spray if I need to lubricate something, I'm very aware that WD-40 isn't lubricant. How much does that Loctite accelerator cost? The BSI stuff is like 8oz for $10-15, but doesn't come with a sprayer(I refill my 2oz bottle of the stuff). I use it to cure CA quickly to use as a finish on pens I turn.

EDIT: This $9 for 1.75oz Loctite accelerator? Yeh, Bob Smith Industries is $7.50 for 2oz or $11 for 8oz. Works great.

No, Mars has enough atmosphere that parachutes are used to help landers slow down.

Generally the larger the planet/moon the more its gravity can attract and hold gas. Titan is large enough to have a very thick atmosphere.

Here's some, no sprayer. It's also 8oz, so it'll probably outlast you and your descendents.

EDIT: Here's a more sensible 2oz bottle of Titebond-brand CA accelerator.

Our team uses a variety of different types: Gorilla Glue, Titebond, and more. Gorilla Glue is really good, but just be sure that you wipe off the excess or it will expand. Titebond is really reliable but it takes a very long time to dry. Zapagap is pretty pricey but it dries insanely fast and it is really strong.
Here's a link to all of the glues: 1. Gorilla Glue can be found at Home Depot 2. Titebond We put the Titebond in to smaller containers which can be found here 3. Zap a Gap
EDIT: We also use something called InstaSet Accelerator. It should be used only in emergencies along with zapagap.

Use a vice if you've got one, and patience. I put the frontmost part in my Panavise, laid the stick and spring down loose, and put the other plate in. Once I had those pegs in place, i was able to get them close and shove the spring around until it all clicked together. I was lucky that three of the four pegs weren't broken, so my assembly is still pretty solid, and the back plate of the 3DS should hold it down fine, but if it was looking shaky I might try risking CA glue (superglue), just a dab on each of the posts. If you try it, be careful not to let the glue wick into anywhere that it might gum up the works, do the pegs one at a time, and make sure the whole assembly is clamped together nice and tight; it defeats the purpose of glue if it's not holding everything where it needs to go. If you've got kicker on hand, use it; I'd spritz some into a cup or something (far away from the glue!) and drip it on with a toothpick or something, so I didn't get it inside the assembly. This is one of the few times where gel CA glue isn't totally worthless, and they sell it at Walmart, so you could try that; at least then it wouldn't try to make its way inside anything. But depending on how tightly packed everything is inside the 2DS, you might be able to get away with just closing it up.

Also, when you're reinstalling the wipers, pay attention to how they need to go. The metal one goes on the bottom, then the shorter one, then the longer one. The sides of the plate are different heights, so it'll be pretty easy to figure out which one goes where. And double check that the copper contacts are going to line up with the tracks on the PCB. It'll be obvious whether the other bits are in place or not, but this is the one that could make you open it back up and redo everything.

Edit: Just got it all back together, joystick is working fine! Now it's your turn. :p

What if you set the super glue faster so it doesn't have time to vaporize and stain nearby material?

Sets it in seconds.

This Stuff which is great to prevent the issue you mentioned:

>The one in the video (Loctite Gel). But it just sits like a wet gel spot forever. And as soon as you touch it, it superglues your fingers.

This will cause the inverse issue where if you leave your fingers touching the glue and spray then thats it forever. Your skin or your model is breaking after that.

u/ArchonOTDS · 1 pointr/XWingTMG

This is the glue I love, I also use insta-set which is a spray that will make the glue dry in seconds so you can keep working on the same part without stopping for a bit, great stuff.

Try getting Gel Superglue (like this). Apply a decent dob in the joints, then plop the arms in there and hold for 15 seconds. You can still move them a tad after, but they won't fall out. Let them set for a few minutes before putting any large amount of tension on them and you should be golden.

Second option is to use an accelerator, like this. Apply glue to the joint, then spray/dip the arm ball in kicker, and put it into the joint. This will set very quickly. It's also exothermic, so if you get glue on your hands and don't notice, then get kicker on there, it can be fairly painful.

Last, a helping-hands can be quite useful if you have it laying around. I use this one for electronics, and it works pretty well holding awkward model parts for letting glue set.

If you are worried about it, you can buy medical grade cyanoacrylate (for veterinarians) on Amazon, but I just use regular ol' super glue and an accelerator (although accelerator's not really necessary unless you're using thicker CA like a gel).
