I was reading on this page:

http://www.technologystudent.com/equip1/glueplas1.htm

And it mentions 5 different types of glues for gluing plastic
together.

Tensol Cement, Contact adhesive, Epoxy, Super Glue, or A glue gun.

I've never had much luck using Super Glue so I would lean towards one
of the other glues. I think a glue gun might be the same as epoxy,
but now really sure about that.

Contact adhesive seems like a good choice based on what I read but I
have no experience using it.

I would appreciate any suggestions for the best glue for my job.

Thanks in advance,

First, let me say that the advice I am about to give is worth every
penny you are paying for it.

Hot glue is definitely NOT the same as epoxy.

The type of glue you need is dependant on what type of plastic you are
trying to repair. One glue that works great with, for example,
styrene, may work only marginally with PVC. Therefore, without
knowing what type of plastic the item is made of we would have no idea
what glue would be the best for the application.

Good luck.

I have NEVER had any joy gluing plastic that was structural in
application. If the glue joint (properly cured) didn't break first time
stress was put on it, it broke right next to it for the same reasons it
broke in the first place. IMHO, the joint needs a splint, like by
heating up a skinny nail and shoving it through both pieces, or finding
some other way to reinforce it. The break point sounds like a stress
point. OP, can you post pictures someplace with a link back here? If we
can see it, we can make better suggestions.

don't forget construction adhesive,like Liquid Nails.
it bonds to some plastics.

contact adhesive probably would make the best bond,generally speaking.
3M makes this brown rubber adhesive in a tube,it bonds well to a lot of
plastics,but I can't recall specifically which one it is.

My 27" Barbie dolls arm is broken off and I have tried hot glue gun and e6000. Neither worked. It is hard plastic. How can I fix? I have photos but don't know to upload to here.

I just took it from a quick google search so you must be correct. Both
ABS and PVC are easy to bond and same cements would probably work for
both as solvents are similar. We had this discussion on PVC and CPVC and
it was agreed the best glue to use would be one designed for it whereas
others could be adequate. The toughest polymers to bond listed here are
PET the PE's and PP.

There are a hell of a lot more commercial polymers not listed above and
bonding conditions are different.

PVC might be plastic, but not all plastic is PVC. There are hundreds,
probably thousands of kinds of plastic. No special reason to think a
Barbie doll is made from PVC.

Which gorilla glue?? It's become a brand name - like wd40 - with

The original "foaming" gorilla glue is a urethane glue and sticks to

I missed the miscellaneous plastics part. The article says 7 but
miscellaneous could be nearly 100 others, maybe more. When you get into
reinforcements and blends there are thousands of possibilities. I
worked in fibers and plastics R&D and I should know.

epoxy


Aha. I'd not heard of that. I thought it meant straight fiberglass.

Pity about the last one in that list.

I'm not sure fiberglass is really a plastic. I think it only got listed
because it threatened to sue.


"fiberglass" as in "fiberglass re-enforced plastic" can be polyester,
vinylester, or several; other plastics for the binder - or it can have
epoxy

GRP, or glass reinforced plastic, would be less confusing but good luck
making that stick. I even get strange looks when I say RTV. (room
temperature vulcanizing silicone rubber).

Fiberglas (one s) was a Owens Corning patent name for glass wool and
became the generic name for glass wool, as in that insulation I
particularly hate. Then it was extended to GRP so a Corvette with
fiberglass body panels isn't pink and fluffy. Usually.

That will burn you up. Change of color without all the messy painting. Any
color you want as long it is black.
