STICKY STUFF! Why Proper Strain Gage Adhesive is Important

Glue is glue…right? So, why can’t I use regular glue products available at the local retail store to bond strain gages? Well, actually, you can. The more pertinent question is, how important is your time and your data? An age-old quip is that if you only want your gage to stick, try using well-chewed bubble gum! But to achieve good strain data on purpose requires using quality strain measuring components. Rely on Micro-Measurements strain gages and accessories to make your test program successful.
