Reply to "How to epoxy a prewar standard gauge armatures commentators?"

Wow does this take me back to early slot car racing..  Any epoxy will work the thicker the consistence the better. I did the whole armature covering all the wires (not the metal)  right down to the commutator and even it a little. Let it dry really good, try to rotate armature while epoxy is still loose so you don't get a big glop somewhere.  Once dry but it in a drill motor or a drill press if you don't have a lathe, turn on the drill and carefully file down the epoxy.  While your at it now would be a good time to balance the armature.  You can really increase the voltage to the motor once you do this.
