I have a concern. I E-6000 shoulder covers for 24hrs and realize 5 bumps in the front was to much. That caused no bumps on back plate. I removed shoulder covers and reglued. The chemical in E-6000 caused the chest plate to rise in a slight deformation. 
 

I also have never heard of  E-6000 reacting to ABS, and unlike CA (super) glue it does not heat up while curing.  If I didn't know any better, I would say that the clamps you used to hold it on while the glue dried were really tight and actually made an indentation in the shoulder tab.  The only ones I have seen you use are the plastic ones (and the metal ones for the sniper knee) which usually don't have that sort of strength.

E6000 can deform ABS if too much glue has been applied and if using excessive clamping force while curing.

E6000, never seen it happen. Maybe depending on the material?

 

Clamping force yes

I've seen ABS distort with a particular make of snap and E6000, must have been the coating reacting with the glue and causing heat, this was on AM armor a recruit was working on, I've never come across the issue myself while building armor.

My guess would also be clamps or maybe unintentional bending when you pulled up the pieces?

I think you might have misunderstood what I said. I mean using too much glue and too much clamping force together (a combination of the two) is what can cause deformation. I have not seen E6000 cause any problems on it's own but that doesn't mean it couldn't happen, especially with fake glue that's going around.

I think you maybe onto something regarding glues that are packaged looking like E6000. I've definitely seen those.

The reason it reacts with certain snaps is because of the LACK of anti-corrosive material or coating, instead it is reacting to the base metal. Marine and Military grade snaps (relatively same in price as their less protective counterparts) are made to protected against environmental exposure and corrosive chemicals.

Believe me, I was quite surprised to see deformation after the removal of shoulder covers. It makes sense that what could have caused it was possibly both excessive glue and force from clamps

I didn't bend it. I actually sliced through it with a butter knife

Hey Paul I looked to see where my E6000 was manufactured and it is in USA, not China
