Best adhesive to repair phenolic?

Jul 20, 2005 3 Replies

Hello,



I have a variac which has the front plate (where the connections are made) broken. The plate itself is made of a black phenolic material.



I've made mechanical supports for this to perform the majority of the structural support, but I still desire to use an adhesive to finalize the repair.



What type of adhesive would be recommended on phenolic (joining phenolic to phenolic)? I have contact cement, epoxy, and cyanoacrilite; which of these would work best, or what else would you recommend?



Thanks for any recommendations,



Jon



Thanks, Jitney; I put a test drop on the phenolic and it seems as if the bond is stronger than the phenolic itself. Much appreciated.

Sure. The email address is good, I put it that way to reduce spam.-J.
