Its the only glue i have had consistant good results from. I have found that the aplicator outlasts the glue but you can pair it with cheep superglue and it works just as well.Sprinkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00917246639433391220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3450385060357670401.post-46970215896883030192017-01-26T13:02:15.915-08:002017-01-26T13:02:15.915-08:00I have not tried the new plastic superglues, but I...I have not tried the new plastic superglues, but I have heard both good and bad things about them.

Have you tried a superglue for all plastics? They come with an activator pen and the glue. The pen 'roughs' up the plastic to give the glue something to stick to.loctight and stick2 both do it.Sprinkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00917246639433391220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3450385060357670401.post-86649065862843693862017-01-25T11:33:49.774-08:002017-01-25T11:33:49.774-08:00cool result!! ewcool result!! ewelectricwavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15130644138871251212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3450385060357670401.post-47283928736462034482017-01-24T19:48:26.900-08:002017-01-24T19:48:26.900-08:00Thanks.

Sadly, the material is so soft that it will not hold the new pose at the legs without the twist ties.

Some types/thickness of plastic require multiple dips or a little more time in the boiling water. Parvel Shunkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11797860937349949157noreply@blogger.com
