To enhance the performance of your metal detector search coil, it is crucial to understand the composition of its body material. Typically crafted from a pliable thermoplastic like polystyrene or capron, the coil is often encased in a rigid epoxy that poses a challenge due to poor adhesion properties. Over time, this can lead to visible resin creases and potential water seepage through openings on the surface.
To address these issues effectively, an innovative approach is required. By deliberately creating small chips and creases with an awl, followed by meticulous repair in two stages, utilizing Droplet glue for initial patching and epoxy resin for complete concealment of creases, you can restore the coil’s integrity.
During repairs, ensure the AKA coil’s attachment to the rod remains intact to avoid additional costs. The rejuvenation process culminates in a renewed surface that resembles new, thanks to the remarkable work of Droplet superglue and protective epoxy resin application.
To commence repairs, conduct a thorough inspection for hairline cracks that signal the need for intervention. It is advisable to allow gradual drying of the resin over two or three days to prevent premature cracking. Moreover, pouring glue onto a warm coil facilitates optimal filling of gaps upon drying.
Embrace this exciting journey of revitalizing your AKA metal detector coil’s surface – unleash its full potential with precision repairs and meticulous care!
