Quoted text begins.Bill,
The simplest way to keep a piece from turning is to have a small pin very
close to the main one.
A 1\4" pin will act as a stop.
If you don't have room to add a second pin try using a square stainless
steel bar. The trick is to have something wrapped around, or applied to
the
bar so that it can be pulled free of the epoxy after it has set up, then
permanently glue the bar into the other piece. If you have positioned the
piece right, it will only go together 4 ways! Using plastic wrap to keep
the
glue from bonding to the steel might work. A little experimentation is in
order.
End of quote.


A heavy application of paste wax applied to a buffed surface will allow you
to withdraw the bar,or any other part,from expoxy after it has set.The
boatbuilders up here also use clear plastic packing tape to get parts to
release from molds.

Bob
