Last night, I was working on a P-70. To give nose weight, I tend to use 15 minute epoxy and a few spare metal peices to give weight. The metal is most usally a screw and nut. But with the P-70 nose, there is limited room, so I used a pair of wire terminals.
For the first time using this method, I had the problem of the epoxy heating up the plastic. It got so warm, that the plastic began to get rather soft. So I put the part into my freezer for a few moments. That cooled it off, but I am worried about why it happened. [%-)]
Anyone out there know anything about this problem?
