I’m stumped (need adhesive advice)

[DankMemes]

I’ve got these two super shot mini models ( I think they are Centuri reissues) and I’m having a hell of a time getting the lugs to stay glued, I’ve tried plastic cement, super glue, and 5 minute epoxy.

the lugs always let go, last time was a miracle I found them... I made sure I scraped the glossy top layer off the plastic too, no dice...

any thoughts?

Thanks Steve I’ll give it a shot.

Thanks Steve I’ll give it a shot.

Good luck! I’ve used it on polycarbonate and styrene. It melts the plastics together.

I've used Plastruct Plastic Weld with good results. I notice the solvent dries pretty fast though. For long seams I'd hold the pieces together and use capillary action. And the glass bottle is too easy to tip over when replacing the brush absentmindedly. I nest the bottom in a roll of electrical tape, the opening is just the right size.
