An alternative way to stick PE to plastic

Post by kruno59 »

Guys,

Spray the back of the PE fret with 3M remount glue - sticks fine and if you want to preposition it just lift it up.

What do you think

Sounds like a good idea to me. Have you tried it yet?

Yes - it works well - it also had the added bonus of when you cut out the piece from the fret it stick to the substrate it's placed on so doesn't fly off.

I haven't tried it on fabric PE but I think it would work even better than on metal

Cool, I like this idea. I suppose it's good for placing flat pieces, not sure on the more structural pieces though?

It might be useful to hold more structural piece in place whilst u use super glue - either way a less messy method of doing things
