glueing styrine

[siuvinson]

You can glue styrene with what you've got, but the joints will be very brittle and break easily. I use the Plastruct Bondene...others use similar things like Tenax and more i can't think of right now. This doesn't actually glue the styrene together, it melts/"welds" it together. You can still see breaks at the joints, but strengthening the backside of the joint w/ more styrene will reduce this.

hope that helps!

yeah, I will have to drive an hour just to get plastruct so I figured I would use gorilla glue. regular model glue also melts the parts together and I could get it about 30 min. away. Just trying to save gas money... unless someone really..really.. says not to do it, Im going to try gorilla glue this time and see how it goes I guess..
