[Boatanchors] Bakelite repair

[Harry Vaught, KT4AE]

I used J-B Weld to repair the Function switch knob on my HT-32.  The 
knob had split into two pieces from being over-tightened through the 
years.  It's the only thing I found that would hold even under the 
tension of the knob set screws.  Regular epoxy just let go.

It dries to a dark gray, not quite Bakelite color.

People have made outrageous claims for the product, but I have to admit 
it's fixed some things that ordinary epoxy wouldn't.

You should be able to find it near the epoxy at Wal-Mart type places or 
for sure at an auto parts store.
