Hey guys, can you point me to some glue brands I can get at Lowes or Home Depot For plastic
Pola and or piko kits. I used Weld on 16 before and ran out and I am on a tight time frame to get these done. need something strong.
Thanks
Nick
Gorilla Glue might work
What Sean said. E-6000
try the solvent, plumbers use for pvc plumbing.
e6000 or Welder will get you done fast, but aren’t particularly UV stable (as in bits will start falling off before the summer is out.
Korm’s suggestion of a solvent glue from the plumbing section is a good one - but expect whatever you don’t use to start going bad (drying out) within two weeks - even WITH the lid on tight.
Marine Goop shows some promise, At least the stuff I put back together with it last fall hasn’t crumbled, yet.
I thought there was some sort of pipe fitting glue that I could use that would melt the plastic together some what ?

Nicky, Nicky, Nicky… go to the paint section and get some MEK. It’s cheap, works fast, and 1 can will last forever. I use it all the time. It will melt (weld) your parts together. I’ve used it on Pola, Piko, Colorado Model Structures, etc. You’ll also need a small applicator. I use a small syringe/bottle type applicator- the kind you get at a hobby store. I’ve heard that you can also use a small brush, but I’ve never done it that way. Hope this helps. Good luck.

I love glue and don’t make the mistakes I did while experimenting with various types …Ventilation is the key…

Well that explains a lot.
Don’t huff glue… Kroil and a hot wrench will melt your brain much better
