Not so super glue


Pong

Being someone who believes in health & safety, I have always used an antenna protector on top of the aerial of my transmitter.

While browsing the local sports shop I found some really bright ping pong balls that looked like they would be ideal for the job. I bought one, cut a slit in the bottom and put the aerial in. Since it was just going to wobble around on the top I dripped some superglue in to fix the top to the inside of the ball. This worked very well.

Unfortunately some of the glue ran back down the aerial and glued it up solid so it no longer telescopes. Cue a trip to the bin for the transmitter and a return to the drawing board for this idea.
