Duct Tape and Epoxy Glue

I thought about posting my narrative about Blue Thunder's adventure and following surgery today, but it turned out a little long for a blog post and is more of me making fun of myself than anything else. So I'll summarize.

Today, my dad and I superglued bits of my car together.

It's a bit called the pigtail that plugs into the alternator. It's not easy to get a new one without buying a new electrical harness and cutting it up, which isn't exactly a cheap way of going about things. So we opted for the next best thing, which was gluing the plug into the alternator.

And we didn't use super glue. After we duct taped the pigtail long enough to get home, we pulled out the epoxy glue. It's some super strong stuff that is a mix of epoxy resin and an unpronounceable chemical. Armed with toothpicks coated with the stuff, we shoved the pigtail into place and gave it a nice thick layer of five-minute epoxy.

Blue Thunder's holding up fine, now. ^_^
