How to Glue Slippery Plastics like HDPE

[dditzler]

I have been looking for this for over 20 years and I finally found it.

Locktite 3035 2-part adhesive for Polyethylene and Polypropylene

2-4 minute setup time
10-15 fixture time

no priming or chemical cleaning of parts needed. Comes in a twin tube design like epoxy with a mixing stick. It is not yet at the distributors but should be available at McMaster Carr, Grainger, Fastenal and others.

I like to say it is glue for slippery plastics but Loctite prefers the term "Polyolefin Bonder"

I saw it first hand at the design and engineering show today in Chicago.
