Loctite All Plastics Glue

Product Information

Key specs – Type: Liquid plastic; Dry colour: Clear; Volume: 4ml; Consistency: Liquid; Curing time: N/A; Water resistant: Yes

With all glue use, we recommend gloves, mask and safety goggles, and in the case of aerosol-based adhesives we can’t stress this enough. Also as it’s an aerosol adhesive, remember that it’s highly flammable too, so storage in a safe, cool place is imperative.While many super glues are suitable for use on some plastics, Loctite’s plastic-focused product is suitable for use on all plastics. These include polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP), which some of the other products on our list specifically specify they don’t work on. What we really like about this product, though, is the anti-clog cap, which contains a small metal pin to create a completely airtight seal. If you use super glue as and when required around the home, this well-considered design detail means the glue is significantly less likely to dry out, allowing you to reach for it time after time. You also won’t have to wrestle the lid off each time you wish to use it, which is a nice bonus.

Key specs – Type: Two-part epoxy; Dry colour: Clear; Volume: 25ml; Consistency: Liquid; Curing time: 24 hours; Water resistant: Yes Okay, not technically a glue, Bondic is an altogether different adhesive method of bonding plastic (and pretty much anything else) that uses liquid plastic. So, what glue to use? Fundamentally, there are two types of super glues: gels and liquids. Liquids can be applied really easily to most surfaces, but gels don’t drip, which means they’re perfect for fixing things above your head, or anything vertical or slanting. Loctite’s Super Glue Power Flex has a unique rubber-infused gel formula. Its high-strength non-drip gel consistency means that it’s particularly suited to jobs involving non-horizontal surfaces. You should choose Loctite’s Super Glue Power Flex when you need to bond vertical surfaces like tiles or shelving units that are located above your head or those that are at a slant. So, regardless of whether you need to bond plastic, wood, cork, steel, paper, concrete, tiles, or ceramic, Loctite’s super glues and adhesives are always the right choice for you.

Product Overview

Curing times for glues varies from brand to brand and type to type, but while that process occurs, you’ll want to ensure you have the tightest bond, so clamp your glued elements together using either an actual clamp (available from DIY stores) or, at a pinch, use elastic bands to hold everything in place. Are glues for plastic toxic? Mix components if required. Two-part epoxies or adhesives are durable, but they need some preparations. Read your product’s instructions carefully for blend ratios. Mix as directed to activate the adhesive. Water-resistant and offering a comfortable five-minute setting time in which to make slight changes to positioning, Gorilla Glue Epoxy features a two-part formula of resin and hardeners that are kept in separate barrels until dispensed in equal measure by the handy syringe design to form an incredibly durable bond. Not for use on flexible joints, the hard setting All Plastics should be given a full 24 hours to cure fully, after which any and all plastics will be bonded for life.

This rapid dual-action adhesive glue is specially designed to work on plastic to form resilient, invisible bonds in seconds. All Plastics super glue is a two-part cyanoacrylate adhesive that sets in seconds and develops tremendous strength, with as little as one drop. Especially designed for resilient bonding of plastic surfaces for strong and reliable solutions. It is resistant to water, most chemicals and freezing temperatures. Ideal for repairing figurines, costume jewellery, cameras, toys, metal car parts, wiper blades, rubber seals & O-rings.Key details – Weight: 15g; Compatible materials: Metal, wood, ceramic, paper, rubber, plastic (excluding PP and PE); Applicator: Nozzle To use, ensure surfaces to be joined are clean, completely dry and close fitting. Using the Surface Activator like a pen, apply it to both surfaces and wait 60 seconds for it to dry. Open the glue and carefully squeeze a small drop onto one surface. Press the surfaces together and hold until set. A one-part unit that features an applicator nozzle at one end and the LED at the other, the adhesive stays in liquid form until you activate it via the UV. The UV wavelength acts as a catalyst for a photochemical reaction, which causes the polymer to harden in mere seconds to form a permanent but flexible bond. Bonding almost instantaneously, the long, tapered, anti-clog nozzle and squeeze release system make for spot-on application, while the fact that it’s a gel rather than a liquid means spillage is almost non-existent. Now, you may not know your polywotnot from your polythingie, but that’s fine: simply look for the recycling arrows on the item in question and take note of the number in the centre – polyethylene (PE) is represented by the number 1, polypropylene (PP) by the number 5, so, knowing that, simply look for a glue option that states its compatibility.
