I have two parts that need to be glued back together. I have tried some 'plastic weld' 2part adhesive like araldite, but didnt stick. I noticed after, on the tube iit says it doesnt work on polyethelene or polyproylene :oops:

I think its polyethylene?? Its marked >PE<

What else would be worth a try? Its subject to pretty small forces and a small anount of vibration. Theres a fairly substantial glue area.

TIA :thumbright:

You can get special glue for this purpose, but I'm not sure where-

Hi Hitch,

You need to get on to Amari Plastics (they're nationwide but I don't have a number). They will advise.
