Make sure that you use cheap stainless steel, otherwise it won't rust and leave a stressed patina look.
For god's sake, don't expose it to water, though. I mean, what sort of steel is this? Steel for Rust programmers?
Fun fact: it has a car wash mode. It actually will kill the monstrosity by getting it wet.
Glue is pretty strong and can work well. If you do it right.
"3M's fancy glue is too expensive."
"So we switch to Elmer's?"
"Also too expensive. Just mix some flour and water together for paste."
"But s..."
"Don't worry, we already have a plan to stop Elon from eating it."
"We just need horses."
Oh, did an airline stewardess walk by?
We call them flight attendants these days, but if this is an Airplane reference, I endorse it.
Tesla is the only car company on earth that has every single existing model subject to a recall.
Tesla is the only car company ~~on earth~~ in history that has every single existing model subject to a recall.
FTFY.
You don't know that. The people of Kepler-452b might well be suffering under a truly awful automobile industry.
Valid point. Whether they have sufficient hydrocarbons to start their own industrial revolution is of course another question.
Tesla is the only car company ~~on earth in history~~ in the entire universe that has every single existing model subject to a recall.
Got caught using the wrong glue is more accurate.
Got caught using the glue wrong (sniffing)
Lloyd Bridges clip from Airplane springs to mind.
Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit amphetamines.
What an amazing site.
We won't ask why you would want to glue ceramic and leather together - we just give gluing info.
Wow this is actually very useful
That's funny, I just used that website a few weeks ago because I needed to bond a metal washer to plastic. The jb weld it recommended seems to have worked great
It's become very popular. Jaguar, Lexus, Audi, they'll use glues at some point. So I'm very surprised. It's not as if it's an unknown science. I've not heard [of problems] anywhere else.”
Yeah, none of those brands are trying to be cheap as shit death traps though.
I also find it fun how i heard this morning that it hasn’t even been fixed in production yet.
Schadenfreude
... ist immer noch die schönste Freude.
Stimmt!
When i read the post title, I honestly thought this is a meme.
Always have some chewing gum ready. (I would advise for cyanoacrylate but that's illegal in some places because you could use it to stick yourself to the road as a form of protest)
