Title: Trumpet mouthpiece help?
Post by: wv_lumberjack on January 23, 2015, 11:34:33 AM

I have recently started making trumpet callers.  I was curious as to how ya'll glue the mouthpiece to the body of the yelper. I am using delrin for the mouthpiece.  My first instinct was to use epoxy.  But I thought I'd ask to see if anyone had any advice or a better idea.  Thanks for your help!

I use Loctite brand two part epoxy, the 5 minute variety.

I use a 15 min epoxy.  When gluing in a Delrin mouthpiece score the mating surfaces for insurance or you may find the mouthpiece twisting/pulling loose when adjusting a tight lip stop.

I use a 5 minute epoxy when I set my mouth pieces.  When I turn the tennon part on my mouth piece I usually put a couple of undercut grooves on it so that the epoxy will fill those grooves and when dry should not allow the mouth piece to pull out, at least in theory anyway!!
