Plastics: Bonding System

EDIT: Two years later and still holding strong. I recently had to pull apart some silicone rubber that I had glued to PVC. The glue bond was extremely strong, the rubber tore without the glue bond ever letting go at all. That's the most you could ask for. It also works well for metal to plastic. I keep this handy for all sorts of plastic repairs and builds.First I'll have to say that the little tube of glue that comes with this turned out to be useless, it just glued itself shut. Not a big problem as there was a large bottle of Locktite superglue handy, so I used that.The activator agent comes in a metal tube with a felt tip, similar to a magic marker or Sharpie. The fluid is clear and hard to see, but it does come out and you can smell it. I treated both surfaces to be glued, even if one wasn't plastic. After the fluid evaporates you use the superglue just like normal.I was happily gluing silicone rubber tubes to a softer silicone rubber base with no problems. Adhesion is fast and strong. Then I read that this is NOT for silicone rubber. Oh well, I don't care, it works great and is easy to use. The bond is often stronger than the silicone itself. What more could you want?There was plenty of the activator for my use, in fact I have some left over.

Tried SEVERAL products in an attempt to glue together broken plastic toy parts. The ONLY one to "fuse" the broken pieces together was the Loctite Super Glue Plastics Bonding System. Even plain old Loctite couldn't get the job done.

It's hard to find glue that will work on every plastic, and this one doesn't. BUT, it works on most of the plastics I have tried, including ABS. I did have a problem with PVC, but I guess that is why they make PVC cement.For most plastics, this product works for medium duty applications.

Held great

“ activator” tube was dried and nothing could be applied. Since I missed the return date, I opened the other sets I received, and they were also dried. I don’t know if this would have worked on plastics as it claims because the activator portion could not be used. However, the superglue part will stick to your skin!Would not suggest to buy because of quantity. Go to Lowe’s or Home Depot and pick up a set.

The good: the cement works very well. It's easy to apply, and the activator's container is brilliant -- it works like a felt tip pen. Wipe it over each contact surface, wait a minute, apply the glue, and you're ready to go.The bad: the glue tube's cap was defective or badly designed, and unusable. You're supposed to screw the bottom part onto the tube, breaking the metal diaphram that seals the glue in; then twist the top part off to apply the glue, and twist it back on when done. As I tried to screw the cap onto the tube it tilted to the side, and the more I tightened it the more it tilted; no amount of fiddling or force would make it engage the threads and go on straight. I threw it away and put a piece of plastic wrap over the mouth of the tube, and fastened it with a rubber band. That probably won't work; the next time I need the glue it will be dried out, and I'll have to replace it.Next time I'll look for a product as similar to this one as I can find, but a different brand.

I bought this to repair a weighted action lever of a synthesizer keyboard key that had broken. It was made of nylon, and nylon does not glue. The repair was a polished steel weight that had been overmolded with nylon and had broken where the two materials came together. I used this bonder by coating both parts with the activator then applying the bonding adhesive , clamped them gently, and left them overnight. Next morning, good as new. These weighted action parts are both expensive and unobtainium at this time, so my musician friend was ecstatic. Time will tell how long this will last in usage so we put this part up in the highest note on the keyboard under the assumption it would get infrequent use giving it the opportunity to last the rest of the life of the instrument. If I owned this myself, I would have left it mid keybed where it will get hammered all the time just to see how durable it really was. Time will tell. But the product did exactly what it claims and I am glad to be adding this product to my "glue" collection.

Comes with a little sharpie-like primer that you just glide along both edges, and the tube of glue itself, to be applied to only one edge. BE SURE TO USE PROTECTIVE GLOVES. I used ordinary, very thin vinyl ones available for cheap on Amazon. The glue won't hurt you, it's just that it's very difficult not to get it on your hands, dries immediately, and takes at least 24 hours to get it all off if you keep picking at it. Better to get the gloves and avoid that problem. I used it to glue together two panels at the bottom of my car driver's seat: the power seat-control panel on the side, and the adjoining one on the bottom front. I glued two little pegs inserted into holes, plus the seam where the panel meets the front panel. I had to do this because the rear panel at the back of the seat is missing, which normally holds everything in place, so the entire assembly was hanging down. Now it seems to be holding pretty solidly. I glued them together about three weeks ago. I'll give an update in if and when it ever comes apart again.

I used this glue with primer to attach a Teflon slider on a rubber soled curling shoe. Been using it for two months and so far so good. Very difficult problem to solve as Teflon is very slippery and nonporous.
