+ | Ed, I used the JB Weld about two years ago on a Corsair II bandswitch knob that did the Ten Tec split. I only had one good knob left so I filled the split knob just like you did with JB Weld. It has had two years of hard use and has not split again. | ||

+ | I called Ten Tec and told them that they needed to tell anyone that bought a replacement knob to fill it with JB Weld before putting it on the rig. Seems the JB Weld acts as a metal sleeve does on a well designed knob. I fill all Ten Tec high stress knobs with the stuff and recommend that others do as well. If you have a Ten Tec rig your knobs will split. It is just a matter of time due to a bad, cheap design. By the way I still have my new backup knob, which has been filled, for future use, if needed. | ||

+ | I have never had to replace the repaired split knob. | ||
