discussion What is the best Plastic glue

[Guest]

Andy you may have hit it on the head. First all glues & solvent/glues work so the issues have to be the right glue/solvent & conditions for the job.

So I think the conditions you are working in "may" point to the problem. I am not sure but think that a lot of solvent/glues give of heat which is part of the process of working. Lower temperatures may deplete that process.

Perhaps an experiment try glueing parts in your garage & then in the house to see the difference. During the winter I used to keep the end of the garage I worked in up to about room temperature. But for after lights are out I also had a gardners incubator which had a heater in the bottom. This was temperature controlled. I also wrapped it in foam to insulate the outside of the cover. This kept at about 70 degrees. I left glued & painted objects in the incubator over night. It also had little vents on the roof to let out any moisture.

Thanks Laurie

I will give it a try and turn the heat on and have a go at your suggestions about the two different locations!

I will let you know the results

Tried what you suggested Laurie and it worked so the damp seems to play a great part in the plastic glue adhering parts together, so a warm operating area seems to be the trick as well

The best plastic glue is Gorilla Glue. Because the last time I have created some plastic crafts by using Best out of waste ideas.
