darthmaul101079[TK] Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 What glue is best for HIPS plastic. I started to use all purpose cement for plastics but it did not bond. it tried to search but i only came up with one type of glue. Is there any glue that i can get a a walmart or something of that nature? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK6540UKG Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Best glue out there is E6000. It will stick anything to everything, but takes 24hrs to cure. Works perfectly on HIPS kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogueTrooper[TK] Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 E-6000 is the way to go!!! Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zsavk[TK] Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 E-6000 is the winner according to everyone. I have not been able to locate in my hometown. Possibly called something else in Canada? If any TKs in Canada can help find this stuff please let me know. Ive tried local Home Depot and Canadian Tire. Goop and Lepage products seem to be the only things handy. Maybe a Plumbing wholesaler? Westburne or Western Supplies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperTrooper Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 E-600 for the build, and model cement (don't get the non-toxic stuff) for emergency repairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
synaptyx Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Amazon and Ebay are my favourite places for E-6000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthmaul101079[TK] Posted January 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Sweet. E-6000 Thanks everybody! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK5144[TK] Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Sweet. E-6000 Thanks everybody! The biggest problem with E6000 is the time to dry and be secure (I would wait several hours, maybe up to 24 hours?). If you have something you need done quick, that will not have tons of stress on it - use Zap a Gap CA glue, with Zip Kicker. I have also used the Plastic Welder - it is the most solid stuff ever, dries fast (maybe even too fast), smells terrible. One advantage of the E6000 is that it has a little rubbery flexibility to it even when completely dry. Best advice is probably to get a couple glues and use them as needed. I would be too impatient to do everything with E6000, but it would probably turn out very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
