Re: Glue for plastic
Here is a technique I have used with great success. First the pillar and surrounding area is roughened with glass paper. Then the pillar is positioned with superglue (just to hold it for the real repair). Then I coat the area with Devcon 30 minute epoxy and take cloth tape with a fairly coarse weave and soak it with the same epoxy and place around the area to be repaired. The epoxy soaked cloth tape becomes immensely strong when set. You can see an example in the attached photo (for those wondering it is in fact an R/C transmitter). You need to vary the technique to suit the nature and position of the break. In this case I was able to take advantage of the close proximity of the pillar to the case sides.
