Yeah, I'd hope they'd put a subcategory for all of the various types of plastics

Yeah that was my first thought too. Former mechanical engineer. Immediately thought back to all the headaches trying to fix broken prototypes and thought this would be amazing if it had cross compatibility for PP, PE, nylon, ABS, silicone.
Still a cool concept. And if you’re in the plastics world you probably know enough through experience. But some hobbyists are going to run into some trouble treating all plastic the same lol.

Always love to see this site posted. I’ve referred to it a lot over the last 20 years or so and it never lets me down.

Where's the hot glue option? I need a bond that causes second degree burns here!

How would you glue nylon to nylon? We were making 2 part nylon handles for a hand held probe, where one part fit inside the other. Couldn't get anything to work, tried super glue, epoxy, some special 3m glue I can't remember the name of that the machining shop recommended... None of it held up in the field.
Ended up drilling and pinning them.

really needs to distinguish plastics, low-friction ones are very specialist

I wish concrete/masonry was an option.

“We won't ask why you would want to glue ceramic and leather together - we just give gluing info. If the leather is thick (eg. boot leather), we recommend:
Household Goop But if it is a light chamois or suede, then go with: 3M 77”

This is great! but would be even more helpful if they linked directly to a product page instead of just the corporate site. They could probably earn a fair bit from affiliate marketing as well.

I’m having the same reaction. I know nothing about this topic. Somebody else knows some things. Somebody else knows all the things. Between all of us we know a lot of shit!

I chose “glass” to “styrofoam” and just learned more about glue, glass and styrofoam in 20 seconds than in my entire 39 years of life.

Why is a silly little website about glue one of the best things the has been linked in this sub? This is fantastic and genuinely helpful. It's this kind of specialized knowledge that really amazes me.

Glue of the month hasn't been updated since 2003. I know how to glue Expanded Polypropylene (EPP) to itself. Use E6000, which used to be called GOOP. It's a room temperature vulcanizing rubber cement that adheres well and will stay flexible once set. Also, 3M90 spray adhesive works well on EPP if you have a large contact area to deal with.

For things like styrofoam to concrete.
