1) Is the new friction ring the same material as the old one? Are you
sure?

2) Is the metal surface against which the friction ring rides smooth?
Really smooth, even after your incident?

3) If both answers are "yes" then my guess would be the bonding was a
mistake. Unbond (burn it off, if necessary) and start over if you
have to.

I've even considered putting a little grease on the disc surface to
encourage some slippage.

That would be a big mistake.


I kinda expected and deserved the admonishment Rick.
