ship69 Posted November 8, 2015 Posted November 8, 2015 (edited) Hello A new problem: I now need to connect styrene to a moderately waxy plastic (probably PE polyethylene or possibly PP polypropylene - I'm not 100% sure). All my experiments with plastic friendly epoxy glues & CA so far all say "won't work with PP or PE" ! One option would be to insert a couple of metal pins. But even then, aside of going for a good tight push fit, so far I cant find anything to actually bond to PE or PP. Any suggestions? Many thanks P.S. What about this: Starloc's "The 100% UNIVERSAL BONDING PACK" Which claims to bond: "TEFLON, PTFE, DELRIN, PVC, POLYETHYLENE, POLYPROPYLENE, SILICONE" http://www.shop4glue.com/universal-glue-bond-adhesive-repair-pack-metal-all-plastics-ptfe-polyethylene-polypropylene-silicone-81-p.asp The whole site looks extremely dodgy (!) and could well be a scam. But anyone here tried any of their stuff? Edited November 8, 2015 by ship69
louiex2 Posted November 8, 2015 Posted November 8, 2015 (edited) You might try a contact glue- on this side of the pond we have Walthers' Goo that is used a lot by model railroaders (it has sort of a rubbery texture and can be a bit stringy when applied) or PlioBond is a similar brand that can be found in just about any hardware store or home centre, but I don't know what the UK equivalent is. You might try Hannant's https://www.hannants.co.uk for the Walthers' Goo. Edited November 8, 2015 by louiex2
