    Disappointed. “Plastic” is unacceptably broad to make a recommendation.

    ABS and HDPE are very different materials

    Brilliant resource. I was just contemplating my options for metal to wood and wondering how effective CA would be and the answer instead is epoxy.

      that dollar store 5 minute epoxy is good stuff. I’ve used it on so many things. I buy a couple packages every time I’m in the dollar store (which is not often, tbf)

      excellent value. it holds up in storage for over a year after opening (with the cap back on, obviously). I just used one I found in the back of my garage that was 75% empty to fix my table saw fence lever yesterday

    I want to see if latex paint will bond to stucco. So I think I’ll do a search for, oh I don’t know, latex bondage.

    I tried “dick” to “ass” and that fucking site was absolutely clueless. It’s really hard to believe we’re in the twenty first century.

      Cyanoacrylate, hands down. It goes on smooth and cures by reacting to water, so you can get a tight seal in just minutes!

    Between standard super glue, e6000 and wood glue, that gets everything I need.

    The kids of epoxy that are used for fiber reinforced plastic can make crazy bonds. The main problem is the setup time. An be hours to days depending on what temperature and formula is being used.

    I used a fiberglass fabric to make a water tight patch to a cracked plumbing fixture fully justified a $100 quart of epoxy.
