    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.

    Between standard super glue, e6000 and wood glue, that gets everything I need.

    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

    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.

    I tried “dick” to “ass” and that fucking site was absolutely clueless. It’s really hard to believe we’re in the twenty first century.
