RaPiDo987 Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 So, i recently broke my side mirror by reversing into a pole... <_< I'm too cheap to buy a new one so i decided to glue the plastics together.... What would be the best glue out the to hold it in place? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
airman Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 Gorilla glue (the foaming kind) is probably the best. Side mirrors are heavy and need a heavy glue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathmineral Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 (edited) My favorite glue is something called blue magic I think, not sure on the name but it is amazing and would definitely work for you, I used it to glue my headphones back together when they snapped about a year ago and they are still holding strong. Edit: found it, guess it isn't a real glue necessarily, says vinyl repair adhesive... great for headphones though. Went ahead and took a picture because I couldn't seem to google it, guess it isn't popular.

hardnrg Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 I'd use 2-part epoxy adhesive for plastics (e.g. Plastic Weld) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hardnrg Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 It's really just an example... you can get 2-part epoxy all over the world... it's really just a visual aid to help you find other brands Sometimes it's handy to fill in the Location part of your profile to get more region specific answers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PingoPongo Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 (edited) In Estonia there's a similar thing called EPO 2... it's real strong. It comes in white and black versions. I've repaired some minor stuff (like the plastic front fender etc) on my Moskvich 412 wich i use for racing on the field.

Andrewr05 Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 Yeah an epoxy would be definitely be the way to go if you want an almost permanent adhesion, if not then there are hundreds of other glue/adhesive options you can try with various success rates...

Compxpert Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 (edited) This one is only in uk..... Thanks guys for the responses.... Huh I can get that same exact brand down at my local Home Depot... Mustn't be in your area then. Might not be the same brand though not sure on that I'd have to dig mine up the the tube looks exactly the same as the one in the first pic.
