What glue?

To glue back together the gray LGB freight trucks?

Gee, 69 hits and nobody has any ideas?

Well here is a comment.

Never found a glue that really works on LGB plastic. Tried many but nothing. Even the UHU glues will not work.

Apoxy does not hold either.

This should start some comments from other members.

pin it and use Welder cement? Works about as well as anything else. Maybe an industrial solvent?

Haven’t had to glue any LGB plastic.
Have you tried MEK?
I’ve yet to run into any “plastic” that MEK will not “fuse”.

Steve,
I personally like 3M plastic and emblem adhesive. I use it all the time but don’t know if it will work for what your doing. I had an Aristo truck break and I used Goop which seems to have held up so far but I put that car on the end of my train as I don’t trust it. I actually got a new truck at ECLS this past march.

Did you check this out?

The coolchem site is not functional.
I did find this searching the net…Atlas Delrin Bond. Reasonable price, $6.00

Thanks, guys, I’ll give it a try…

Just received an email from Brianna Products. They are sold out of the Atlas Delrin Bond.
I’m waiting to hear if they will be getting any more.

I have used Hobbico (Tower Hobby inc.) epoxy – with hardner/resin mix – to glue problem LGB track ties.
Any application on other LGB plastic products?

I’ve been using Gorilla Super Glue lately that I got at my hardware store. Seems to work pretty well. I don’t have any LGB stuff though.
