Disappointed. “Plastic” is unacceptably broad to make a recommendation.
ABS and HDPE are very different materials
“It’s hard.”
Okay, well, don’t do it, I guess. Thanks for the mediocre site.
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.
I want to see if latex paint will bond to stucco. So I think I’ll do a search for, oh I don’t know, latex bondage.
Between standard super glue, e6000 and wood glue, that gets everything I need.
Bookmarked. Thanks!
Wow, an actual /cgi-bin/ site still going!
I just grab the E6000 and call it a day.
this is the most exciting thing i’ve seen all week
Nice little Saturday night
Brilliant resource. I was just contemplating my options for metal to wood and wondering how effective CA would be and the answer instead is epoxy.
that dollar store 5 minute epoxy is good stuff. I’ve used it on so many things. I buy a couple packages every time I’m in the dollar store (which is not often, tbf)
excellent value. it holds up in storage for over a year after opening (with the cap back on, obviously). I just used one I found in the back of my garage that was 75% empty to fix my table saw fence lever yesterday
