ship69 Posted November 8, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Knight Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Have you tried 'vinyl weld' glue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louiex2 Posted November 8, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
