Pardon the OT post but we have so many knowledgeable folks here I was hoping I could get a quick answer. This is antenna & RF related so maybe not super far off OT hi-hi. I have a 1/16" thick 3"x3" s
I have used J-B Weld for a lot of things, including plastic. I am not sure about Teflon but you could go to the J-B Weld website and contact their customer support. -- Wes Attaway (N5WA) (318) 393-32
Another possibility is Gorilla Glue. It works on all kinds of things, including plastic. Again, maybe you could test this on a piece of Teflon and see what happens (same with J-B Weld). -- Wes Attawa

This is antenna & RF related so maybe not super far off OT hi-hi. I have a 1/16" thick 3"x3" sheet of Teflon that I need to "glue" to the front of a uW horn antenna to keep water, dirt, bugs, etc out
"Glue" is historically made from animal products. Modern bonding agents are "Adhesives." You will get better search results if you use "adhesive." "Teflon" is a brand name and applies to several chem
Build a frame for it and hold it to the frame with a clamping scheme, using a gasket to make it water proof. You can then glue the frame to the horn. 73 Rick N6RK This is antenna & RF related so mayb
Or use a different material instead of Teflon. Something that can be bonded to.73,Gary K9GS -- Original message --From: "Richard (Rick) Karlquist" <richard@karlquist.com> Date: 7/9/20 3:06 PM (GMT-0

It may very well come down to a mechanical solution. One idea that came to mind, because the final antenna will be a circular open WG,just would be to cut the teflon to fit over the WG opening with a
Gary appreciate the suggestion. I have not decided on a material yet. I have been acquiring a number of different plastics, all uV stable that I plan to test in the downstairs dungeon RF lab. I will
Yup you brought up a point that was mentioned to me about a week ago by an active uW'er. I can pretty easily test the effects of the plastic for it's IL and any changes in RL but changing the pattern
One other idea came to mind which I acted on and that was to buy on e-bay an inexpensive LNB complete with round plastic cap delivered for around $6. I should be getting the dish and feed from direct

Forget about "strong" adhesive tape. Teflon, like most high molecular weight plastics (e.g., cutting board) tend to migrate, and no adhesive will hold for long. "Glue" is historically made from anima
Did find this interesting. Need to find out if it is available in the US and if it is affordable. The surface prep also seems not to be as scary as a lot of other techniques: https://www.youtube.com/
Since this is towertalk, I can relate your post to Teflon coax. I have outdoor Teflon coax jumpers and it is pretty tough to get waterproofing material to adhere to the jacket. John KK9A Pardon the O
The AG (see link below) primer for bonding Teflon TFE is interesting; this must be a relatively new material. All my experience bonding TFE has been with Tetra-Etch. The AG adhesive shown in the link
