Haha, it's no big deal. It's just keeping me from finishing it!
Hey, bandy. I'm this close to buying this Transformers set. What do you think? Shout! Factory - Transformers: The Japanese Collection |

Hi, guys!
Man, I'm getting frustrated with my custom I'm working on. I bought plastic epoxy thinking it would be strong as hell, but it works like crap when I try to attach the tubing to my Stinger doors. You can peel it right off with no effort at all. Any suggestions? I might try to buy some different plastic, but I haven't decided yet... How long did you let it dry?

Can you bend the plastic sheet to form the tub so it will be one piece?

I bought polyethylene sheet, but I think I might try ABS next. Last edited by Cobra Terrorist; 12-09-2011 at 11:41 PM.. |

Here you go CT:
Polyethylene Adhesives & Glue Polyethylene Adhesives and Glue - What are your choices... The fact is that the group of olefins (polyethylene based plastics), which include LDPE, HDPE, and UHMW, are so chemical resistant that modern science has not invented a solvent glue to bond these plastics. Of course, such properties are why these plastics exist and perform their job so well. You might even note that the solvent applicators and most chemical containers are made from polyethylenes. All is not lost - You do have some choices! 1. Mechanical fasteners - screws, nuts and bolts and the like - you may have to recess the hole or deeper countersink based on the application. 2. Pressure Sensitive Adhesive applied to 1 surface. We actually do this for the thinner sheets of UHMW we sell - and call this our "Slick Strips" - you can peel and stick a variety of thicknesses and widths from .010" to .125" thick, 3. Contact Adhesives - we offer the IPS Weld On adhesive #1829 - it STICKS but the bond is limited as it would be with ALL solvent based contact adhesives. There are a wide variety of solvent based contact adhesives available nationwide. 4. Double Sided Tape - OK, we know you didn't want to hear this, but for some of you, laying down a few strips may do the job. We offer 2 kinds of tape. Double Sided Foam Tape is a permanent adhesive good for non-smooth surfaces. "Killer Red Tape" is a thin 0.015" thick acrylic adhesive transfer tape perfect for SMOOTH surface applications. Thicker tape is available such as the line of 3M VHB tape. 5. Hot Air Welding - the way LDPE and HDPE tanks and trays are built is by hot air welding the pieces together. Similar to metal welding, but at lower temperatures, a welding rod is melted into the sheet joint to make a strong bond. The materials must be the same - you cannot effectively join dis-similar materials. Call for more info.
