Ace Plastic Repair Epoxy

[nachoman]

I bought some plastic repair epoxy at Ace Hardware (Ace brand) to glue some unknown type of plastic for a motor mount I was building. It's a two part epoxy that sets in about 5 minutes. In addition to being an epoxy that fills gaps, it also has a solvent that partially dissolves the plastic to create a strong bond. The epoxy sets up hard, and the bond between the pieces is very strong. I later used it to glue a metal motor to the plastic motor mount I had made, and it also created a good bond to the motor.

It's a useful product, and I think I may try it in the future when I need to glue larger plastic pieces to metal pieces where there is a larger bonding area. I haven't tried it on the derlin type plastic yet - but it may be a solution there, too. I could also see it useful in creating strong bonds when joining the walls of large plastic structures because it helps fill gaps.
