Glue for attaching PE to claer parts

Post by kruno59 »

Guys,

I have not had to do this until now - what's the best glue to use - don't want to use TET if I don't have to.

Looking through the search section someone mentioned UV glue and curing.

Appreciate your help with this one pls.

Cheers

John

TET will fog you up Dude, don't use it on clears.

Microsol Krystal is good but its not that strong a bond. Gel based superglue avoids the problem of running and it also gives you a few seconds for positioning before the PE (or your finger) sticks down hard!!

Have fun.
Its been tried and tested, it works! So don't blame the system if you're no good. :doh:

Tet wont stick metal so either pva or superglue.
