keith Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 (edited) I need some good strng ABS glue. I'm in the UK, so i cant find the IPS weld-on #16 stuff. I was going to get this before i noticed you can buy it from B&Q. The fact it can be bought from B&Q has put me off, as its probably crap if they sell it. ----------- Anyone know whats the best stuff that can be bought over here in the UK? Keith.

Locitus[Admin] Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 I've used humbrol "liquid poly" with great results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonnenschein Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 (edited) I've used humbrol "liquid poly" with great results. i second that. I used that stuff a lot when building my styrene prototypes. But it takes about a day to cure. Edited June 5, 2012 by Sonnenschein Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure it takes a while. But I've never had any problem putting load on it after an hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonnenschein Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 I guess I just wanted to be on the safe side But it isn't wrong to give it a little time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sskunky Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 (edited) Keith, I this this to assemble all my suits and helmets and it's quick, clean and sets in less that 30 mins. ---------- It liquifies the abs and rebonds creating a very strong connection. Just clamp the parts together and with a drop on a small brush touch the the seam and it will run down and into it by capillary action. DONE!

keith Posted June 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Thanks for all your help. I'll give that one a try Mark as it sounds like it will make a strong bond. Its for a biker scout helmet so its very important the glue never fails, as that would mean the filler covering the join lin would crack. Cheers, Keith.
