Hello:
I plan on using that "Krazy Glue" liquid (guess it's similar to the old Eastman 910 product) to hopefully bond well two small pieces of plastic. Sure everyone already knows, but this is Not an epoxy type of product Instructions aren't clear on this: Is it better to apply a small amount to just one of the surfaces, or to both surfaces ? Any other info anyone might suggest in using ? Thanks, Bob |

My vote is to just apply the glue to one side.
If you put too much on, it will just spill out the sides and need to get cleaned up so you've wasted it. |

Any other info anyone might suggest in using ? You need to know what kind of plastic you're working with to decide what kind of glue to use. What sort of load it's expected to withstand would also be helpful information. |

it's superglue... give it a try...if it doesn't work, try it again.
if that doesn't work, do what you thought about doing in the first place and get some epoxy. HeyBub wrote: Goedjn wrote: You need to know what kind of plastic you're working with to decide what kind of glue to use. For putting the stone back in an engagement ring? |

Any other info anyone might suggest in using ? If you are trying to glue Plexiglass, Lucite, i.e., acrylic, you should use methyl dichloride. This is available in small quantities from plastic suppliers. It is extremely runny and evaporates quickly. Making bubble-free "museum quality" joints is an art. |

It's worked for me 2 or 3 times, but failed more times than that. I may have been using too much, even though it was only a drop. When I cut back, I had more success but that might well be a coincidence. Ace hardware has an epoxy for plastics, in a double syringe. Bought it but haven't used it yet. What are you trying to glue? |
