A great glue for resin kits
|
Ricky <x_white.bear_x@...>
After struggling through many different adhesives, some of which left a brittle joint, some a white film, some which didn't work at all; I have found Loctite for plastics. Following the directions in the use of the activator and glue will lead to great results, an invisible, super strong joint. I'm done with expensive exotic glues as this can be found at Home Depot for three bucks. If anyone here knows a hobby shop owner tell them to stock this product.

I have not used this glue for resin; but I know it works great for repairing
broken handrails made of engineering plastic. It's worth purchasing even if that's your only use of it. gary roe quincy, illinois _____ From: STMFC@...

This is indeed less expensive than the cyanopoxy glues and works well. The only shortcoming is the small tube runs out or dries up well before the activator. But I have found that just using the regular Loctite in the plastic bottle (which lasts much longer) works well with the activator also.

Regular Loctite super glue is 01-30063. Yes, for what I had to pay for cyanopoxy I was less than satisfied with it (despite the claim it's used for the space shuttle's ceramic tiles). The Gorilla glue is supposed to be a more flexible super glue formula, but again I was underwhelmed. Shelf life is less and I can't find the flexible part to be any different. So still I use the Loctite super glue the most.

I spent a bit of time downstairs this evening, for the first time in sometime to be honest. Anyhow, as I indicted earlier, I went to Home Depot and purchased the Loctite Plastic Bonding System and found it to be a very easy to use product. I worked on a caboose and a mechanical reefer, both by WrightTRAK, and it worked well on both of these cars. I used the activator first, as directed to and then the glue. Worked great resulting in nice tight bonds. How these hold up over time is a whole different subject. For the price, 3.98 at the local store, you almost can't go wrong. Even is this didn’t work on resin freight cars I am sure that there would be a 1,000,001 uses around the house. I also, as stated, picked up Gorilla Super Glue. I did NOT try that tonight and as such cant report on it. Overall I was happy with the Loctite product and am anxious to see how it holds up over time.

If you reread the message, you'll see that Denis is talking about Gorilla SUPER GLUE, not the other Gorilla glue ;^) Regards Bruce Smith Auburn, AL Denis,<RUTLANDRS@...> 12/28/10 9:05 PM >>> Watch out for the Gorilla Glue.

I don’t know that there is an advantage over conventional CA glues. The comparison is against cyanopoxy. At under 4 bucks for this kit of 2 components versus 40.00 for the cyanopoxy the comparison is clear. It is the price comparison for a product that may, or may not, do the same thing for much less money. My initial impression tonight was favorable. The one variable I couldn’t check tonight was that of durability of the bond. That is going to have be done over a period of time.

Wasn't the original reason for buying Cyanapoxy that it would glue Delrin
and similar plastics? I don't think resin to resin was the reason for touting it in the first place. I use Tech-Bond. http://shop.tech-bond.net/main.sc Half the price of Cyanapoxy and supposed to be just as good. I use it almost exclusively for resin to resin or plastic joints and I'm happy with it. It comes in a bottle with a screw on cap and a 'nail' in the tip of the cap that seals the nozzle and keeps it clear. I've been using my 2 oz. bottle for more than 2 years and it's still free flowing and works fine. It comes with an extra nozzle and tip. When the nozzle starts getting gunky, I switch to the spare and soak the dirty one in nail polish remover to make it as good as new.

That is the one that this conversation is about. I picked up a couple packs of the two part adhesive last evening at home depot. I got home and gave it a try and it appeared to work just fine. I also picked up a sample of Gorilla Glue Super Glue. I did not test that one yet.

I have a Sunshine gondola on which I used only CA throughout, and it's always been somewhat "brittle" with weak side-to-floor bonds. Try gluing something like Gary said - a broken delrin handrail - and then give it a good twist and flex. If the bond holds, then this Loctite stuff may actually be different. In the meantime, my little 2-yr old bottle of Zap is still working. Tim O'Connor I spent a bit of time downstairs this evening, for the first time in |
