discussion Fixing metal to Resin?

[Adrian "Marvel" Reynolds]

As the title says I'm looking for the best method of fixing some metal parts onto resin, there not small parts and will make up a sub structure so needs to be tough. Would I be best of using an epoxy?


Here's an idea of the parts that need to be fixed in place, oh and a bonus point if anyone can tell what it is from

I would go epoxy but, if possible, pin it with paper clip wire or brass rod just to give it a tad more structural strength.

Epoxy should do the trick and Graham beat me to it, I would also be tempted to pin.


Looks like the underside of a Brakiri Avioki Cruiser.

Sadly I can't pin the pieces, but they do have slots to go into.


Sorry Si, not that, though it is a most powerful ship

Eeeeeeeeeeeepoxy! Sticks anything (and everything usually) screw fix will have small 2part tubes for 2-3quid

If you can't pin it would mitre mate stick it? It would be instant if you sprayed the activator but you'd only get 1 shot so get it right...

as said Adrian,epoxy,and real cannot see why your unable to pin it,


just have the pins flush with the base bit,and pre-drill before gluing,

Hi Monica the metal fins are very thin can't even drill them with a 0.5 drill

oh well then,do see why,but the epoxy,once set should hold them,just put a few scratch


in the surface will give a bit more for the glue to take too,
