Hello,

 

I have a question and would like y'alls input on what kind of glue to put this together. You are the plastic masters.

I originally thought E6000 would work. But also 5 minute epoxy came to mind. I also might use plasti-weld. Since I didn't use anything BUT E6000 on my TK build two years ago...I don't know if a different glue be better.

 

Your input is greatly appreciated!

I have been using that plastic on my blaster builds and found that 5 minute epoxy works well, I do rough the surgaces with 80 grit sandpaper before I glue. It's good too as you don't have to hold the pieces fo very long before they dry, there is also a 1 minute epoxy around too bit think that is quite a bit more expensive. Hope that helps, good luck with the build

Thanks! Any brand in particular? I might make a run tonight to pick some up.

We have Selly's brand in Australia, not sure what you guys have in the US, just don't do what I did at first and buy the real cheap stuff from the discount stores, it is very sticky and takes longer to dry. You know what they say, you get what you pay for LOL. Good luck

I've been following your build thread on the 501st boards - very impressive!

Thanks man! It's the project that never ends. I really can't wait to finish it and can never be happy enough I got my start right here on these boards!

I have found plumbers goop effective when E6000 was hard to find. Bonded quickly.
