gary jackson Posted 17 hours ago Posted 17 hours ago want to glue a resin hood scoop to styrene hood. whats the best glue
NOBLNG Posted 17 hours ago Posted 17 hours ago The only other option would be epoxy, but that would squish out and require some cleanup. Thin CA would be better. 1
mcs1056 Posted 14 hours ago Posted 14 hours ago (edited) This has worked really well for me, gluing all types of dissimilar plastics. Edited 'cayse I can't spell Edited 14 hours ago by mcs1056
Ulf Posted 13 hours ago Posted 13 hours ago Sometimes it is easier to glue a piece of styrene onto the resin part, process it(putty and sanding) and then glue it in place styrene against styrene.
gtx6970 Posted 13 hours ago Posted 13 hours ago I use Loctite Superglue Ive not had good luck with the cheap brands
Chariots of Fire Posted 13 hours ago Posted 13 hours ago Locktite for me also. Solid bond for resin to plastic. Make sure there are no solvents on the resin, though. Use the CA sparingly so it does not ooze out of the joint. You can't really clean it off a painted surface. If the plastic is unpainted you can wipe off the excess and then sand lightly to get rid of the residue. I've done this many times with good results. I've even bonded plastic to white metal with CA. Solid as a rock.
Shark Posted 6 hours ago Posted 6 hours ago Are your parts already painted? If so, super glue may frost the finish. I use two part epoxy or sometimes clear enamel paint to bond things.
