    Disappointed. “Plastic” is unacceptably broad to make a recommendation.

    ABS and HDPE are very different materials

          Its totally doable. There are specific adhesives and procedures for bonding low surface energy plastics.

          Like if you want anything to stick to polyethylene you clean it with acetone, then sand it, then kiss it with a propane torch flame. This makes the surface much more bondable for a few hours.

      Yes I thought the same. I like the idea but I’d be much more interested in seeing a database of specific materials and how to bond them to other materials.
