DroidHunter Posted May 6, 2014 Report Posted May 6, 2014 (edited) If there is such a thing. I am closing in on the end of my build, which I have done entirely with E6000. I preferred the slower cure time and inherent flexibility. However, I am going to an armor party this weekend and I need to mount my snap plates so that the vets can help me strap up. I'll never get that done with E6000. So, I am considering using CA glue to mount the snap plates (that still need to be put together...) so that I can potentially mount the plates, and then start strapping all on Saturday. So my questions are (1) does anybody else use CA glue for mounting snap plates or is there a concern about heat generation as was once suggested would happen with E6000 and metal?; (2) Are there any recommended CA glues to use for this? I saw this posted elsewhere: --------- I am open to any suggestions. If CA glue is not recommended for this, I'll just finish up at another time.

Locitus[Admin] Posted May 6, 2014 Report Posted May 6, 2014 It will work just fine. Maybe they risk popping off at a later date if the bond isn't good enough. But by then you know where to put it back and can use another glue. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk Quote
DroidHunter Posted May 6, 2014 Author Report Posted May 6, 2014 Thanks Mathias. If a snap does pop off I can always reset it with E6000 in the future. Quote
DroidHunter Posted May 6, 2014 Author Report Posted May 6, 2014 I've had good luck with Loctite brand in the past, so I'll keep that in mind. Thanks Vern. Quote
