Hi all,
I hope this is the right forum I'm asking in. I have a small lab tripod (for holding beaker/flask) that I want to mount firmly to an aluminium base. The setup is shown below: -- / \ / \

The tripod legs are made of steel. I'm looking for prefrely a non- permanent solution to mount them.
Thanks
Chewing gum?
How about you glue some rare earth magnets to the base?
RTV silicone cement.

I'd second that suggestion. Particularly if you use the donut-shaped ones, with a centre hole to fit the leg of the tripod. Those little suckers are STRONG!

Non-permanent, and easy! - Hot Melt Glue Removal with a little pulling or a heat gun.
A little more durable - epoxy Removal with a heat gun (epoxy's like plastic, so it melts)
More time consuming but more durable yet - drill holes through the aluminum and into the tripod legs. Tap the holes in the tripod legs and screw the legs to the aluminum base.
