Yet another failure of bonding brass to Ebony. This is the third and final strike. The first attempt was with using Gorilla Glue clear to bond .005" brass to Ebony. The second attempt was using System Three 15 minute epoxy and .010" brass and curing for 6 hours. The third and final attempt was the same System Three 15 minute on .016" brass and 24 hours of cure time, same failure.
All attempts were made sanding both the Ebony & the brass to 150 grit and cleaning all surfaces with acetone or denatured alcohol. There is no problem with either the Gorilla Glue or System Three bonding to the Ebony but with only light to moderate pressure the brass pulls off easily. I won't attempt a fourth time but curious as to what others have used for a successful bond.
