Plastic adhesives, polyethylene

Hitch · Post by **Hitch** » Sun Dec 13, 2009 8:15 pm

I have two parts that need to be glued back together. I have tried some 'plastic weld' 2part adhesive like araldite, but didnt stick. I noticed after, on the tube iit says it doesnt work on polyethelene or polyproylene

I think its polyethylene?? Its marked >PE<

What else would be worth a try? Its subject to pretty small forces and a small anount of vibration. Theres a fairly substantial glue area.

TIA

You can get special glue for this purpose, but I'm not sure where-

Not likely to be the cheapest place but a Model shop?

Hi Hitch,

You need to get on to Amari Plastics (they're nationwide but I don't have a number). They will advise.
