Loctite Metric O-Ring Splicing Kit

The Loctite Metric O-Ring Splicing Kit lets you make an O-ring to size from nitrile rubber cord. Each kit holds five sizes of cord, a splicing jig, a safety knife and Loctite 406 instant adhesive.

Loctite 406 is a one-part ethyl cyanoacrylate that cures with moisture in the air, needs no mixing and suits plastics and rubbers. The bond line is about as strong as the rubber itself, and the joint is ready for use in a few seconds.
