Gorilla Glue comes in a plastic bottle.

If it stuck to plastic it wouldn't come out.

I normally use Weldon for hard plastics, but you need to know the type of plastic to get the correct type. It welds it back together by melting it.

Gorilla glue has a special glue for plastics i believe.

 

[jeff of pa]

did you wet the item before using the glue ?

GG Activates with Water.

Only Bad thing I have had with it,
if you use allot it bubbles up before it dries

and looks don't matter.

I don't ever remember using it on plastic .. so

My Second Choice would be PC-7

I have found Rino glue works much better than gorilla glue.

Hey ,you're tryin!

Not much around here I have repaired with glue.
Building with it requires the right glue for the right material ...But I swear when it comes to attempted repairs ,there are some mystery plastics that resist being bound with glue. So ,they are the ones to break of course..

Gorilla Glue is my first "go to" adhesive...not much it hasn't fixed...including my older AT Pro. But I ordered 3 bottles for work and all 3 were dried up and none could be coaxed out, old product! I took the top off and stuck a screwdriver in, had the texture of Aunt Gerts 3 day old jello. Ha. Like Relevant quoted..there's a certain glue for each material. Good luck..Ddf.

Never tried Gorilla Glue on two peices of plastic but it'll glue wood to wood with a bond strong enough that the wood will break before the joint. Its almost waterproof when dry. I have made a couple of wood drop riffle sluices using it.


The trick to getting a good bond with G.G. is to clamp the peices together as tightly as mechanically possible. It expands when it gets wet and will foam out of the joint some, but a back dragging a chisel over the dried excess cleans it right up.

ghost glue only good for hair products - sorry

JB Weld plastic bonder, most auto part stores have it I've had good luck with this stuff

 

[franklin]

Gorilla Glue is a waste of money. Looks like crap when it swells and foams everywhere. JB Weld has worked the best for me also.

I have used expoxy glue on plastics. The type that comes in separate tubes and you mix what you need.
You have to read the package carefully to see which ones can be used on plastics.
Got mine in the hobby isle of walmart, you can also try home depot or like stores.

I have used single edge razor blades to remove dry excess gorilla glue, but you have to be really carefull.
