86 12 Brutus Posted August 26, 2020 Author Share Posted August 26, 2020 Old modelers trick. In fact, I think there's some company out there selling it as their 'plastic secret' or something like that. Best to use the toughened rubber bonding formula CA that is used for gluing tyres on RC dune buggies and model pre-runners. It's thebest thing for plastic, nothing else can come close,it's like welding plastic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArdWrknTrk Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 It's thebest thing for plastic, nothing else can come close,it's like welding plastic Depends on the plastic. (Yes, I'm a plastic and glue geek, just like you're into audio) My father was director of engineering for three plastic companies and owned his own. DCM (methylyne chloride) will literally fuse (weld) plastics like acrylic 'plexiglas' yup one S... Rhom & Hass trademark. PVC, and ABS both have fusion cements common for plumbing. They also work with DCM and some ketones. Hard to stick plastics like polyethylene and polypropylene can be bonded (not welded) with specialty epoxies like G-Flex from West System. Careful prep makes for a strong and tough bond. This epoxy exccells at many plastics. If you have the time for it to cure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArdWrknTrk Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Excellent! Glad you are safe. X2 Glad there wasn't calamity. Prayers for those that bore the brunt of the storm. And those who are fleeing wildfire on the west coast. Mother nature is a harsh mistress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
