Brian_Holiday Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 (edited) When modders cut a porthole or window in a case they use auto door protector as a custom grommet. I am pretty sure it is rubber. Does anyone know what kind of glue to use when fusing this stuff together? I tried superglues, rubber cement, PVC cement, Model cement, and got bad results.BTW, I am talking about gluing it to itself, not to metal. TIA, BH Edited September 19, 2005 by Brian_Holiday Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sethook Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 Didn't know they used glue. What about using This Window Material? Also check out this article ..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brian_Holiday Posted September 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 They normally don't use glue, but you get a nasty butt edge where it comes together. I am trying to splice it diagonally and glue it. BH Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bozodog Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 The best for your needs is contact adhesive, apply a coat on both (well fitted) surfaces, let dry, and join carefully. *Don't muck up the alignment 'cause it ain't gonna give you a second try.

blim Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 A few weeks ago, I repaired Son's "blown out" sandals with Shoe Goo (it is available at "your local mom-and-pop hardware store") and though we haven't been through the "rain test" yet, so far, so good. And Son is very, very rough with shoes. It works the same way as the epoxy that Bozodog suggested, so I think it may have the same ingredients.Bonding plastic to plastic, I have never had any luck with hot glue or super glue (although super glue bonds fingertips together beautifully!!)Liz Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bozodog Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 (edited) Hasn't everyone? At least once? I've used it many times for cuts.. the deep paper or razor types that want a stich to heal fast. Works well. Edited September 20, 2005 by bozodog Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The last time this happened to one of my many zombies I just used a couple of pieces of leather and some wood screws. This is very important right now, with halloween comming up.

bozodog Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 super glue for soft tissue, epoxy for the bones.. You may have to machine a part or two if the hinge in the jaw is bad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The most important thing is for everyone in contact with the patient be sure to remember the most important part of any recovery from a traumatic injury is to treat the patient with lots of love....so here are my hugs for the day... Love, hugs, and time, seem to be the best thing for the patient's long term recovery from these type situations. Pat.God bless everyone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blim Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 LOL, Pat, every time my kids go to the dentist, I ask if he can wire their jaws shut (especially when Son wore braces, it would be soooo easy)......for some reason, he just laughs and says "not this time".
