which adhesives are the best? i need one to bond plastic to plastic, non flexible hard setting (quick prefered) but strong enough to resist gentle stress.
can anyone recommend a good one?
thanks

cheers shackal, have used some epoxy before but it doesn't set quickly and gravity always gets the better of the fixing and it ends up out of line.
has snyone tried No Nails on the car in any place? i know it's shit hot in the house but does it bond to non pourous materials as well?

it's a flap that covers the roof mechanism on the convertable. it just bonds onto the rear side of an interior panel hence no fixings can be used.

superglue...other than that expoy is good...just mix more hardener than resin to make it set quicker...tape the item in position if u can so u dont need to keep holding it

the problem with the super glue is that it burns the plastic and leaves a shitty white mark all over it .i would not recommend it mate.
