A piece came off of the hard plastic carpet attachment for our vacuum

I want to try gluing the piece back on. Which glue do you recommend
for the job? Thanks.

There are exactly 451,547,627 kinds of plastics. Each requires a
special glue and 37.85% of them can't be glued at all.

That said, I suggest trying the Super Glue type stuff. It seems to work
well with many plastics. Make sure you get the high strength stuff, not the
stuff now sold in the drug store as it has been intentionally weakened.
Some hobby shops should have the real stuff.

BTW someone may come along with another suggestion based on experience
with that type of part/plastic. If they do, you may want to consider their
suggestion first.


I once fixed broken headphones with a solderng iron. Super glue wouldn't
work on this plastic, so melting it back together did the trick. Looks kinda
funny though.
