Hello,
My wife's T60 fell to the floor and broke a corner piece of the case plastic. Luckily these machines are tough and it was fine. I wanted to glue it together and was wondering if anyone has found a good adhesive that worked on the case plastic. Two part epoxy or .....
Thanks,
Bruce

I use super glue. Make sure there is good coverage on the mating surfaces.

Gorilla super glue is the best adhesive I've found for plastic. Just don't slop it on there.

I have always had mixed results with superglue. Two-component epoxy glue is easier to apply, kinder to your fingers, and does not get brittle over time. Try Poxipol clear (not the opaque white stuff)

I agree with you. Epoxy also allows you fill voids behind the break and make it stronger. I have used both 5 and 10 minute epoxies with good results.
