Hot glue

[deerhunter]

Hello again, I have a question and I hope it is not to dumb. Is hot glue ok in an enclosure to attach branches together? Thanks

Hot glue is fine, just make sure there are no residual glue threads/strings when you're done. Make sure your joined points are structurally sound and the glue adheres to the branches well. Over time with the branches expanding and contracting from moisture, your glue might fail. Like they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. Post up a pic of your project, so we can see what you're gluing.

I used zip ties in mine.... Pulled as snug as possible and then cut the ends off.

When you're typing a message it should be three options in the box: post reply, more options, and upload a file. Choose upload a file. It should ask you where you want to grab the picture from etc.

There are no dumb questions...

It's probably safe but I wouldn't use glue since a zip tie or binder will also do the job and makes it easier to take apart later on.

Ha ha figured out the pic problem. Thanks Charlie Charmingo. Zip ties are an option as well. I am trying to put them to the edge of the enclosure and glue seems the best option.

Here's a gem I picked up in a briefing a few decades ago: the only dumb question is the one not asked.
