Off course I have considered to do it this way as well , maybe I have even already done it before , don't remember , though
.
But I am simply scared , that after having fixed the shanks inside the bellyside groove with this two-component glue , masking the eyelet side might move the eyelet from its fit accidentally , when tape is pressed too hard sideward against wire eyelet , since I don't always wait too long for the glue to cure properly before making the next step .
And you can read in my previous reply to rofish , why I don't like using superglue for tacking the wireform too much .
This two-component glue only reaches a fraction of its full strength after , lets say 60 min. , and I already proceed after about 10 min. , than it just turned from a "jelly-like" to a firm , but yet sticky condition .
And I guess , I can't put any force on the bond at this stage .
The final strenght of that glue is achieved after 72 hrs. , after about 24 hrs. it has well over half of its strength .
I have already considered about trying a faster-setting glue , but than the processing time to achieve any fittings would surely be too short .
I hope , that I could make my reasons understandable , though surely not agreeable to everyone , but each one of us has his own preferred methods , but which neccessarely might not be the most practical ones to others
