How are the emblems affixed to the ring ?
• We consulted with Loctite chemists to find the best adhesive to use for stainless steel and our emblems. We use Loctite Structural Adhesive that is $60 per tube. When we first started we used to use regular REAR VIEW MIRROR Adhesive. This worked fantastic, but we still had about a 1/2 of 1% emblems coming off. This has improved with the newest Loctite and we are not down to only a quarter of a percent of emblems coming off. That is why we are now using this expensive Loctite adhesive. My best friend is a plumber by trade and has had his ring for 8 years with the emblem never coming off. I only had to change it to a Past Master’s emblem for him when he left the EAST. That is not to say emblems do not come off, but it is rare as you can see by the stats I keep. These weights have been hanging on this tree through summer and winter with no problems since 2000.
