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.
Did you expect the website to change the laws of physics?
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
Between standard super glue, e6000 and wood glue, that gets everything I need.
Wow, an actual /cgi-bin/ site still going!
Id like to reattach a motorcycle tank protector. what do i choose? rubber to metal cant be right, since the tank is coated / painted. Sorry, english is not my first language
this is the most exciting thing i’ve seen all week
I just grab the E6000 and call it a day.
Nice little Saturday night
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.
Cyanoacrylate, hands down. It goes on smooth and cures by reacting to water, so you can get a tight seal in just minutes!
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.
Bookmarked. Thanks!
