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.
If you kiss me, I also respond to bondage much better, makes sense! Maybe not with a torch, though
…but maaaayybeeee
Also loctite sf770 helps although it does smell of aneurysm.
Did you expect the website to change the laws of physics?
Yes I thought the same. I like the idea but I’d be much more interested in seeing a database of specific materials and how to bond them to other materials.

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
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!
Yikes
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.
Nice little Saturday night
Bookmarked. Thanks!
I just grab the E6000 and call it a day.
Grade school paste tasted like cherries and model airplane glue was crazy huffin’.
The kids of epoxy that are used for fiber reinforced plastic can make crazy bonds. The main problem is the setup time. An be hours to days depending on what temperature and formula is being used.
I used a fiberglass fabric to make a water tight patch to a cracked plumbing fixture fully justified a $100 quart of epoxy.
Between standard super glue, e6000 and wood glue, that gets everything I need.
oh man.
I love this website but it’s not flawless. You still gotta prep the sites properly.
Wow, an actual /cgi-bin/ site still going!
this is the most exciting thing i’ve seen all week
