[Boatanchors] Need SB-220 Bandswitch

[Ed Swynar]

The slow-cure (24-hour) two-part epoxy works best for me here...

I've used it on ceramic, plastic, & wafer-type swiches --- works like a
charm! Just be sure & leave it all by itds lonesome for AT LEAST the MINIMUM
24 hours to cure!

Once set, it'll last the life of your rig...

PS: Another advantage of epoxy is that you can "bridge" any breaks with ---
more epoxy! That helps to strengthen the fix even more (you sure can't do
that with Crazy/Super Glue)...
