Adhesives
CA Glue
Also known as Super Glue (tm). I use this to glue dissimilar parts like plastic
and metal, plastic and vinyl, etc.
Epoxy
This is a two part (resin & hardener) adhesive that is mixed in equal parts. When the
two parts are mixed, a chemical reaction occurs to cure the epoxy. I use epoxy for bonding
metal and dissimilar materials.
Liquid Cement
A very watery adhesive unlike the tube glue you may be familiar with. This uses
capillary action and the cement to flow through the joint of the two pieces. I use a draftsman's ink
pen used on compasses. It acts like a fountain pen and I simply touch the pen to the joint
and the cement flows from the pen into the joint. Very easy and no mess. Don't try to load
a draftsman's technical pen with this solvent. It will cement the pen together. I know, I
tried it!
