  • What you using it for?

    If you're pranking, I suggest:

    Top: Best for sleeping eyelids.
    Middle: Best for sticking a pound coin to the pavement.
    Bottom: Best for the toilet seat joke, always a winner.

  • haha...

  • it's for a polo mallet, so it will need to hold heavy impacts.
    So nothing to brittle

  • Gorilla glue is strong

  • Two-part expoxy (Araldite in this case) is about as reliable as you're likely to get, IME. If you want to reinforce the joins a bit further, you might like to try two-part epoxy putty as a sort of fillet.

  • Plastic to wood? Or wood to wood?

    Wood to wood you need wood glue. Plastic to wood your contact adhesive might work but gorilla glue is a better choice - bonds most plastics but not polyprop or poly ethylene.

  • plastic to metal

  • Araldite

  • Anthracite

  • oh, sorry... wrong thread.

  • from your selection araldite i reckon

  • Yeah, probably Araldite. Make sure you mix it just right or it will end up brittle. Clean the contact surfaces with rubbing alcohol before you apply the glue.

  • should it be equal part of both???

  • should it be equal part of both???

    Yep, that's the usual rule.

  • And check what sort of plastic you're using. Polypropylene and polyethylene are a nightmare.

  • staligmite

  • Araldite is the business... the Precise (6 hour) version is holding my polo drivetrain in place perfectly (front trials crank to cog on thread-bare hub).

  • JB WELD if you can find it

  • for plastic???

    I know where you can find it, but always thought was for metals only

  • If you make surfaces rough and or small cuts/holes (that do not go through or weaken) that will help joining unlike materials esp. plastics/metals - you are giving a mechanical place to hold onto...

  • Middle ftw, epoxys are the strongest adhesives on the plants afaik

  • oh and JB Weld (impossible to get in this country) is also really good, oh wait im thinking of PL premium i think . . . that stuff is incredible strong. . .

    I know where you can get it tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock, when the shops opens

    so...

  • I used JB weld on my mallet where the bolt goes through the shaft (after my old mallet snapped there). I've played with it for a few weeks and the glue is starting to crack and fall off. Too brittle in my opinion.
