Just a quick info post, for those who might come looking.
If you’re interested in attempting to build your own HandPan, and are wondering what PANArt use to attach the two steel hemispheres that make up the Hang together. They’re not welded. But are attached using a type of glue named ‘Merbenit HS 60’ (or at least it was used by PANArt at some point, if it isn't currently).. And it's also believed to be used by at least several other HandPan makers as well. Making it at the very least, a good glue with which to start your HandPan building experiments.
Merbenit HS 60, is a ‘permanently elastic, high shore adhesive’, and instead of regurgitating all the gumph from the website here, I’m just going to link to it. So that you can go check it out at your own leisure: HERE.
* Merbenit HS 60 appears to be a Swiss-made product, and It doesn’t appear to be the sort of glue that’s readily available for purchase online, at least not from the likes of Amazon, and ebay. Contacting the makers at the above link and purchasing direct, or asking for details of suppliers would seem to be the best option. And at the time of writing, Merbenit HS 60 also appears to be available for sale through the Pantheon Steel website: HERE.
