I have a 1/2 diameter 316 stainless pin about 8 inches long where about 3 inches of that pin is press fit into UHMW. The pin does not extend through the bottom of the UHMW.
I need to make sure that pin doesn't come out. It's used on a tent side pole where wind will lift up on the pin and it needs to hold. There is no good way to mechanically attach the pin.
I talked to a loctite engineer who recommended using the 7649 primer on the hole in the UHMW and then using loctite 648 on the stainless pin.
I am wondering if anyone has had experience with this and can vouch that it holds well?
