Hi,

What would you use to glue ABS and wood (either ply, soft or MDF)
together? There is a need for some small gap filling abilty and be
slightly flexable (read not brittle when set). Preferably easyly
available from the sheds.

I've never had much success using "superglue" with ABS and anyway that
stuff really requires a very close fit to be really effective.

Epoxy works passably well, and car body filler may be somewhat better,
though brittle, but neither bonds exactly to abs - it is more like
excellent suction than a solid glue joint.

I'd think a spirit based rubbery glue like a evostik contact would be
first class - it will slightly dissolve teh ABS and do a good bond, but
gap fill it ain't.

A polyuretahne glue as used for shoes may be worth a try as well. Some
are foamie and should gap fill.
