Loctite Super Glue Plastics Bonding System, Clear Kit, 1 Pack

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.

Pros: It did work. I had broken plastic on this diskette drive for a Compaq Armada 4120. The plastic that keeps the drive in the machine was broken. This stuff is very effective if you're careful. I can still replace the drive if needed. Step 1 is super easy. Cons: The Citizen W1D in the plastic housing is a paperweight. Ok that's not the plastic bonders fault. The glue in step 2 will stick to your fingers if you're wreckless. It's very hard to remove. Make sure you seal the glue tightly or you're cutting the container open. The repair job is not pretty. Final thoughts: Follow instructions carefully and you'll be fine. Seal everything tightly when done using. The pen seemed dry but it still seemed to work with the minimal amount that came out.

I was tired of regular house number decals peeling away from my polypropylene mailbox. I was able to use this to attach some molded plastic house numbers. Regular glue wouldn't hold very well, even after scuffing up both surfaces. The plastic house numbers would quickly break off, even with conventional superglue. Fortunately the dried superglue only stuck to the back of the letters rather than ruining the mailbox! This stuff was able to grip and hold firmly with only a few seconds of pressure. First I roughed up the back of the numbers with coarse sandpaper. Then I held them in place against the mailbox and traced their outlines, so I'd know where to put the activator. Since the mailbox didn't take marker or pencil very well, I lightly scored the outlines with a pocket knife. Then I filled in the outlines of all numbers with the activator. I also applied the activator to the back of the molded numbers. This allowed the activator some time to do its thing. After that, I traced a thin line of the glue over the prepped area on the mailbox and pressed the numbers in, held it with some pressure for about five to ten seconds, and repeated for each number. The house numbers have held on firmly for the last couple of weeks, including some very rough storms and hot, sunny summer days. So I'm going to chalk this up as a success.

I've used this before, but when I needed a fast glue recently, my old tube was hardened, so I bought these. The glue works great and gives you just enough time to get pieces in place before it hardens. Unfortunately, if you don't use the whole thing fairly quickly, it'll harden and be unusable. That's why this set of six is so handy - if I through one away, I'm still good to go...

I really don't like to give bad reviews but sometimes it's helpful for others to know your experience with a product. I wanted a 2 part epoxy glue. The double barrel push tubes are messy and wasteful so I wanted 2 separate tubes that I could control the flow and then mix. It's hard to find this now for some reason. As careful as I tried to be reading the description on this product it was not 2 part epoxy. It's hard to see what you are doing and it is basically a surface prep and a super glue. The prep has a felt tip (like a magic marker) and maybe okay for a flat surface but it you want to get into a crevice you can't tell if you have since it is colorless and dry (ish). You put it on both surfaces. Then you put the second part on one surface after a minute. It's like super glue in that you have an instant bond with no opportunity for repositioning. I bought two packages since I thought it was what I needed. After using a tiny dab from the first package the lid on the part 2 tube became stuck fast. I could not even break it free with needle nose pliers. Since I was ready to use it that moment I pricked a hold in the side to at least get one more application. A day later that tube was hard and no good. So I got out the second tube and once again after one tiny dab of use the lid was glued shut. I had even wiped the tip with fingernail polish remover to try to prevent that. So out of 2 packages I will have gotten maybe 4 tiny applications. So I'm back to my search for 2 tube epoxy glue.

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.
