      Make sure that you use cheap stainless steel, otherwise it won’t rust and leave a stressed patina look.

        For god’s sake, don’t expose it to water, though. I mean, what sort of steel is this? Steel for Rust programmers?

      Glue is pretty strong and can work well. If you do it right.

    “3M’s fancy glue is too expensive.”

    “So we switch to Elmer’s?”

    “Also too expensive. Just mix some flour and water together for paste.”

    Tesla is the only car company on earth that has every single existing model subject to a recall.

        You don’t know that. The people of Kepler-452b might well be suffering under a truly awful automobile industry.

      What an amazing site.

      We won't ask why you would want to glue ceramic and leather together - we just give gluing info.

      That’s funny, I just used that website a few weeks ago because I needed to bond a metal washer to plastic. The jb weld it recommended seems to have worked great

    It’s become very popular. Jaguar, Lexus, Audi, they’ll use glues at some point. So I’m very surprised. It’s not as if it’s an unknown science. I’ve not heard [of problems] anywhere else.”

    Yeah, none of those brands are trying to be cheap as shit death traps though.

    I also find it fun how i heard this morning that it hasn’t even been fixed in production yet.

    Always have some chewing gum ready. (I would advise for cyanoacrylate but that’s illegal in some places because you could use it to stick yourself to the road as a form of protest)
