OK, don't laugh at me bringing this up but... have you guys ever heard of using a product like Loctite 638 instead of tack welding the caps on the u-joints. We use this at work for certain applications and it works great. I just can't help but think that tack welding the caps could damage the cap/bearing surfaces in some way. http://na.henkel-adhesives.com/industria...7714153473

Low heat. Just enough for slight penetration so it won't spin. Not hot enough to damage anything inside.

That being said, I have to be able to remove joint without destroying it. Just grind the tack and done. I wonder how using loctite would go when it comes time to disassemble.

Mild heating with propane torch breaks it down. I think above 350 degrees. It's basically a similar formula as loctite thread locker. Just tweaked for strength and clearance. We also use other formulations like 603 and 680

Hmmm. I like that. I will give it a try next time and see how it goes.
