Expoy

[caudio51]

I have to glue some plastic to plastic or it might be plastic to metal. Anyone have any experience with expoy's that are available at the Depot?

i dont know anything about oxpoys, but crazy glue might work for you.

they should have this stuff called Gorilla glue there are a few different types
that stuff is incredable

Ya I have used one before. I don't know the brand but i did get it at the Depot. Clear on one side of the tube and kinda not so clear on the other side. Black casing. Hope it helps. Worked well every time I used it.

I've used that before, really strong stuff.

I'm thinking expoy is stronger than Gorilla glue. I'll take a look for it.

Thanks

Tom, I am a custom knife maker and glue a lot of stuff to steel. If strength is an issue, then use an epoxy. Note that some of the guys on BladeForums.com did a glue test a couple of years ago and Gorilla Glue did pretty well. If you do not care about appearance, then consider JB Weld, which is a metallicized industrial epoxy.

Stay away from Devcon. Use Loctite or Duro if you are limited to the Depot. If there are some good hardware stores available, then try to find some Conap as it is the best I have ever used. Be aware that the longer the set time the stronger the epoxy. Conap is a 2-hour set time and a 24-hour cure time. You can speed them up by placing them in the oven at about 140F - 150F, but you lose some of the strength by speeding up the curing process. Again, if limited to the Depot, use a version that has at least a 30-minute working time. PM me if you still have questions.
