[AMRadio] glueing ceramic

[Kim Elmore]

I just read up on JB Weld. The stuff is good for 500 F indefinitely and 
600 F for 10 min, so temperature won't be an issue. The packaging says 
NOT to use alcohol to prepare surfaces, so I take back what I said about 
that. JB Weld, inc., happily tells us that it is "steel reinforced," so 
the stuff does have ferrous particles in it. But, it will also tolerate 
being used in a microwave oven. Thus, I'm doubtful that any harm would 
come from using it. JB Weld also makes a clear, quick-cure product, but 
it's not as strong and its temperature tolerance is listed as only 300 
F. Finally, cyanoacrylate is soluble in acetone, not toluene. My bad.
