Ok you guys, here is a chance to prove to my wife that my time on this board is not just wasting time. She has a 100 year old cast iron bed that she had sand blasted and powder coated, very nice. Now she has polished brass fru fru cylinders that attaches to the bed. The brass fru fru is actually some metal that has brass sheeting that is attached somehow such as glued or welded that has started to come off in various places on 1 or 2 of them. The guy who polished them up wouldnt attempt to fix them because of the historical value, but suggested something like JB Weld. I basically need to brush some metal to metal glue between the brass sheeting and the metal cylinder and c-clamp it together until it dries. She also said "what would a bunch of tractor guys know about brass beds". That did it, I got mad and went to work getting the picture and getting it posted cause I know that there is not a lot of difference in restoring a tractor or a bed, and all of you have lots of experience fixing problems. Thanks in advance. James (actually for Julie)
