OT: Best Glue

Not me. I've got most of my originals, minus the wisdom teeth, and one, all-the-way-in-the-back, molar that fractured vertically all the way into the root.

I only have three fillings (all crowned :-) courtesy of the naturally fluoridated water of West Virginia. ...Jim Thompson

I'll have you know that I have never once referred to anyone here as being a member of the ignorant, hateful, ugly, mooching class.

I have always been kind, referring to them by their own chosen name... Democrats O:-)

If both pieces are smooth, slick and flat ordinary double side Scotch Tape will do well if applied clean and over the entire surface of contact. John Ferrell W8CCW

Devcon Plastic Welder. It's 2 part like an epoxy but becomes much stronger. I get it at OSH.

Like the old horses they used to boil down into glue...

Best adhesive I've ever used, hands down, is JB Weld (Ace Hardware and others). I've heard tell of some mechanics that will use it in the field to repair stressed parts of engines so that they can be moved (driven or flown) to where a proper repair can be done.

I've been to West Virginia. If you do indeed have all your choppers, then you're bringing up the average! :)

You know what else is amazing - but it's not really glue: MarineTex:

We once fixed a HEAVY door hinge on a RayProof solid screen room (RF shielded room). Nothing else we tried worked - but this stuff was perfect. The room door lasted many years (of rather heavy use) after the repairs!

Last time I was in the tool supply place they had a display carton on the counter of "Jurastick", making some pretty grand claims about its adhesive capability.

I haven't tried it personally (yet) but the tool store always charges quite reasonable prices for pretty good tools.

Do a search - see if you can get it there.

:What would be the best glue to use to glue a STRONG magnet to a piece :of plastic? (I think polystyrene, it's a magnifier that my wife :sticks to her needlepoint pattern holder.) : : ...Jim Thompson

For that application I would go for a specialist 2 part acrylic structural adhesive such as Loctite H3300 Speedbonder which you can obtain in a 50mL dual cartridge.

It won't be cheap but I haven't yet seen a Loctite product (provided the correct type for the application is selected) fail. If you want to do it right first time....

Here is a typical USA supplier pricing detail

Plastics have composite character, it's hard to get a 'good' glue joint. If it's truly polystyrene, you can get excellent cold-weld glues from any hobby shop (Testors #3502 my bottle says) and some styrene sheet to form a magnet box or harness...

Heatshrink tubing is another possibility, as is hotmelt glue.

But, does it have to be a magnet? A ty-wrap strap and a bit of Velcro is usually good for these loose oddments.

Forget my earlier post on this... there is a much cheaper Loctite acrylic product which is very similar which doesn't come in the twin tube pack requiring the syringe adapter as does the H3300. It is Loctite 330 and comes as a 50mL kit with manual mix accelerator. See

I didn't see the "not available at this time" on the Walmart link

However, as an alternative USA Knifemaker lists it at $30.99

Ross:

I have a bottle of Loctite 326 that is very similar to 330. This stuff is fast, clean, and strong. It really grabs wood, quickly. I use it whenever I want a fast bond in materials where the gap is quite narrow.

I bought it as an experiment for bonding nylon, that didn't work out so well.

Drill a slightly undersized hole in the plastic, warm the plastic, then press the magnet in flush. The plastic will grip the beveled edges of the magnet when it cools.

use loctite 401 super glue. mark

Superglue works well on things that don't get vibration or sudden whack. Flexible glues are better in those caes.

Hey I used to use superglue on my Mustangs motor mounts. I drove all they way across country like that and more.

I would recommend Plummers Goop for altimate strength and bonding to most materials. It just takes a few days to get that way.
