[R-390] Filter Repair

[Bob Camp]

Hi

If you just use epoxy, it will fatigue and fail right where it hits the epoxy. What you want is epoxy first and then RTV over that. You don't need a lot, spreading the bend out over 10 diameters isn't very hard. I spent several hundred hours with a vibe machine figuring that out ….

Add some epoxy right on the outside of the coil where the wires come out, there's a bout 1/8 inch before it comes out of the copper cup anyhow.
