Howdy fellow polymer scientists!
I am new to this group and need advice from the experts.
I'm trying to find a readily available epoxy that will bond to this type of polymer: Nylon-6.
I will be doing frame mods to a Glock firearm frame and have tried a few, but i would like some advice from those "in-the-know".
The frame is made of a "carbon-impregnated nylon-6" to the best of my knowledge.
The actual formula is a well kept secret, though.
Thanks in advance,

Do you really need an epoxy? Polyurethanes (e.g. Araldite 2018) or methylmethacrylates (e.g. Araldite 2022) perform better with any kind of plastics. To achieve long time durability you will have to prepare the Nylon surface by pickling it with formic acid (few seconds).

Variety of solvents are used to clean guns. One popular mix contains mineral spirits, brake fluid, acetone and kerosene in equal quantities. Plastics such as PMMA would not stand up to these. Frank
