Emptying The Powder Measure

After reading the chapter on caliber conversion for the XL-650, I figured that the same technique would work for the SDB, by removing the powder system and cycling it over the storage powder container.

 

Thanks again!

Initially, the plastic hopper tube was glued in place using loctite black-max. Now, the tube has holes as well as the metal housing, and the tube is attached using two sheet metal screws.

To empty the hopper, just slide out the toolhead, invert over a funnel and pour the powder back into the original container.

 

Thanks,

Can you give me some suggestions on how to secure the tube in the housing?  I can't seem to locate the Black-Max.  Would a typical household silicone sealant work?

 

 

Use a good grade of slow drying epoxy, such as JB Weld. Clean the interior of the metal with acetone, scraping out any residue. Put a couple of large drops of epoxy on this inside portion, 180 degrees apart. press the tube into place, twist it halfway around then back to spread the glue. Now put a wrap of tape around the base of the tube and housing to hold the clear tube in place while the epoxy cures overnight.

Thanks.  I think I've found 5 distributors for the Black Max, is that still an acceptable adhesive or do you not recommend it any longer?

I'm sure I can find the JB Weld or similar products here in town.

 

Thanks again.

Black Max is fine.

Thanks much!
