Best adhesive for case plastic
Hello,

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)

Re: Best adhesive for case plastic
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.netzspannung wrote:I have always had mixed results with superglue.
