Anything stronger than Super Glue or Epoxy?
 
The latch on my glovebox broke, so rather than buying a new one I seperated the inner plastic from the face part and fixed it. Now I need to glue it back together. Does anyone know of a glue for ABS with a strong bond that doesn't take 4 hours to set? Thanks in advance.

Super glue should work great as long as the parts fit tightly. You can also use 5 minute two part epoxy.

not to be too car off topic , but where the glove box snaps into place (the bar shaped like this [_] covered with plastic or rubber material around an inch in size) well mine came off and it doesnt snap into place. what should I use to Cover it back with?

Umm... the 4+ hour set time... that's what I want to avoid.

I bought a new one from Mazda, but I think the material is like the tool dip stuff that you buy at Lowe's or Home Depot. Try that first.

For stuff like that, I use regular 2 part epoxy in a tube for initial bonding, then use clay bar type(for lack of better description) 2 part epoxy to add mechanical strength. Clay bar type epoxy is much stronger than liquid/gel type when set. It can also be formed into shape without running, build up thickness, sanded, and painted.

JB Weld makes a "quick cure" formula that is done in about 5 mins. I've used it and it seems to work just as good, but it doesn't smell nearly as good as the original. ;)

Why can't you wait for 4 hours? It's not like the car won't start, run, and drive with no glovebox :).

Are you going to help me by taking turns holding it while it sets? :p:

rzograbian 08-23-04 05:30 PM

Yeah but how do I know the same thing won't happen to the new one after a few weeks/months?

wiblergt 08-23-04 06:44 PM

weaklink 08-23-04 07:35 PM

gorilla glue works good for me

rotary 08-23-04 07:50 PM

jb weld is the shyt

Phantom Driver 08-23-04 11:59 PM

I've heard a lot of good things about JB weld....Didn't understand ure problem with the glove box. I have a couple of friends with JB weld. Just ask me on AIM and I'll ask if anyone is availiable that has any.

loctite 454 is the best stronger than grazzy glue by far.

Shoot, I'd just do it at night and let it cure overnight while you sleep.

why not just use a dab of superglue to set it in place and then use jbweld to reinforce it?
