Speaking of glues...

Is there a guide anywhere to glueing plastics? I've purchased various cements and CA derivatives, including Poly-Zap and Plasti-Zap, but have never worked out which glue I should be using to glue which plastic, and as a result, almost never succeed in getting a proper bond.



The other day, for example, I broke the motor mount on aParkzone F-27 Stryker - I tried using Poly-Zap but as always it failed to bond properly - I ended up drowning the joint in epoxy which will probably work better, but in some cases it would be good to be able to the original plastic to bond.


refer to

"Glue - select correct adhesive for the material"

Adhesives - RC Airplanes Depron, EPP and other foam material - test results Kitsets - Polyethylene, PETE, Wood, Vinyl, Metal etc Plastic Bonding and Repairs This to That (Glue Advice = which to use for each application)***
