Default Re: Glue for plastic

The RGD R130 is a hard plastic case, not one of those waxy soft poly-something plastics.
Most plastics glues intended for hard plastics should work.
I use superglue.
Having said that I have never had any success of gluing the plastic pillars back and expecting any glue to hold when the case is screwed up.
I scrape the surrounding plastic and the pillar to roughen it, glue the pillar in place with superglue, then use a good quality epoxy glue to build up a thick fillet all around the pillar and the case.
I do not use quick set Araldite epoxy it is rubbish and stays soft enough to tear even after days..
Use a high quality slow setting epoxy. There is not much point in mentioning the type I use because it is no longer available. But it was made by SP systems, and comes in 2 tins one a dark grey paste and the other a white paste.
