We have used expoy, hide glue (didn't hold every long) and several other glues you see at your local hardware stores. anything that would hold metal together. The best I found was Acraglass or Brownells Glasbed bedding compound. I'll try and remember to get you some pictures tonight.
 
Thanks... BUCK...

when my Ferro Rods get here ( I'm betting it's the same material )... I'd be interested in what my local builder can come up with...

I'm thinking a cross cut file pattern on the frizzen, & some sort of fixture to hold the sparky stuff at the right angle & position... but he's pretty creative :D

we are thinking that putting the "sparky stuff" in the cock & using a common rod diameter would make servicing the gun easier down the road, than having to shape & glue a "shoe" onto the frizzen ???
 
Well here's mine. It is a Russ Hamm atomic frizzen. I got it about 35 years ago. I rivited it on the frizzen face. Been shot thousands of times. I think they
were 5.00 at the time. Also have the ciggerette lighter adapter too. It lets
you use the little ciggerette lighter flints.

The material in question is very likely depleted uranium. It was popular for a very short period of time but was outlawed by the NMLRA and in many states as being non-traditional and potentialy dangerous.

highly unlikely... look up Ferocerium... I'm 99% sure thats what it is, which is commonly used as flint in all disposable lighters & it's just a piece of steel in the jaw... works just like a modern fire starter
