Glues for Alum/brass etc..
Hey guys I'm starting a new project and the truck cab is made of aluminum. What kind of glues will hold styrene to aluminum? And brass to styrene maybe? Thanks for the help guys much appreciated. >Marty<

Epoxies and CAs(super glues) should work but I would try them on scrap material before good parts. Make sure you degrease the surfaces which includes fingerprints!! Also roughen up the mating surfaces some so that the glues have something to adhere to.

there are a lot of body shop glues that do that like a weld I use LORD Fusor 143 works great you would have to break or bend the parts to even get a chance to get them apart if you could.

I use this for connecting steel and aluminium parts together: http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3...poxy-Adhesives
There are two chances: it won't glue anything and you did something wrong or it will glue pieces together so hard that it is almost impossible to remove them again. Only heat will help then. |
