How to mate brass to styrene

[Kaleb]

Pictures first, I want to build a transmission brace out of brass. Anyone ever mated these two together?

You could use a two-part adhesive like J B Weld. That stuff could glue Jell-O to an ice cube.

Any CA will work brass-to-styrene. Not so good aluminum-to-styrene.

Sweet action. If those two fail, I know duct tape will hold lol.

absolutely here, just scuff the brass with some sandpaper first.

maybe drill & put in a brass pin for reinforcement

BOTH suggestions have worked in the past for me ! Thanks for the posts too, ( Joe and Gilbert ) !!!!!!!!

I use CA to glue aluminum to styrene all the time. Works well. What am I missing?

I'm with Harry on this one, do it all the time. May not be quite as strong, but if you scuff both parts, it works.

Why not just make your transmission brace out of styrene and not have to worry about having a good bond? Once painted, you're not going to be able to tell what it was made out of.

I can make the brace out of one piece of brass. Well several until I get it right lol. I may try styrene before I am done.
