kiyotei[TK] Posted March 28, 2009 Report Posted March 28, 2009 I need to glue a piece of abs to a resin gun handle. I tried super glue and it did not stick???? wow didn't think that was even possible. What glues would you guys suggest? I'm thinking epoxy but not sure that's much different than super glue??? Quote
Smitty Posted March 28, 2009 Report Posted March 28, 2009 Gorilla glue or a strong 2 part epoxy are my personal favorites. Super glue has no flex to it and will fracture alot easier than a glue that dries with more elasticity such as gorilla glue. Quote
Heatshock[501st] Posted March 29, 2009 Report Posted March 29, 2009 I love E6000 for just abt everything Quote
2155TK[TK] Posted March 29, 2009 Report Posted March 29, 2009 was the ABS still shiny when you glued it together? try sanding the polish off the ABS first then use epoxy to stick em' together.. let us know if it works! Quote
Sandeman[TK] Posted March 30, 2009 Report Posted March 30, 2009 (edited) Jim, I just ran into the same problem with my blaster. I would go with either E6000 or Plummer's Goop. Plummer's Goop worked pretty well on other parts (and I would have used it if I had any on hand), and has most of the same properties as E6000. This is what it looks like: ----- Edited December 5, 2020 by gmrhodes13 link not working, removed gmrhodes13 2020 Quote
TK-7828 Posted March 30, 2009 Report Posted March 30, 2009 I used 2 way epoxy glue...works like a charm Quote
Laspector[TK] Posted March 30, 2009 Report Posted March 30, 2009 Be careful if you use gorilla glue. That stuff foams up and will seep out the edges if you're not careful. If it does seep out and dries, you'll never get it off. Quote
CAndyman[TK] Posted July 3, 2009 Report Posted July 3, 2009 Where do you get the E6000? I've looked all over and haven't ever seen it. I'm prolly just gonna use epoxy but it'd be nice to know where to get that stuff for future reference. Quote
SuperTrooper Posted July 3, 2009 Report Posted July 3, 2009 You can get it at Michaels, Jo Ann's, and now even Wal-mart in the craft area, not the glue and caulk row. Quote
CAndyman[TK] Posted July 3, 2009 Report Posted July 3, 2009 You can get it at Michaels, Jo Ann's, and now even Wal-mart in the craft area, not the glue and caulk row. AH! That's the problem, I was looking in the wrong section. Thanks Bro! Quote
ForlornHope[501st] Posted July 4, 2009 Report Posted July 4, 2009 liquid nails for the win! also with any glue make sure you sand the area rough before hand. Smooth surfaces dont bond well. Quote
TK-1287 Posted July 4, 2009 Report Posted July 4, 2009 Plastic Welder by Devcon, it's a 2 part epoxy. Quote
synaptyx Posted July 5, 2009 Report Posted July 5, 2009 E6000 is available on the bay of fleas too. Quote
CAndyman[TK] Posted July 5, 2009 Report Posted July 5, 2009 Found some E6000 this weekend at Wallyworld and used some top repair the loop-part of the folding stock and I gotta say that's pretty good stuff, hard as duracrete and still flexible. Thanks for the tips Troopers. Quote
