EMA Plastic Weld Glue Cement Glue For Hard To Stick Plastics Weald

Perfect for hard plastics that defeat standard super glue I've gone through countless tubes of "plastic" glue and super glue, only to have repairs snap again in days or fail to bond at all. This EMA Plastic Weld is in a different league entirely. It's not just an adhesive; it's a solvent cement. This means it doesn't just sit between the pieces, it actually melts the plastic surfaces slightly, fusing them together into a single, solid piece as it cures. The result is a repair that is often stronger than the original plastic.

Perfect for my 3d printing

I tried various products earlier, many failed, but this one finally worked at last,... I used it with my acrylics and the results were quite impressive. I put the 2 parts together, used a syringe to take some liquid out, an gently poured it around the edges, I had to put a little firm pressure on the parts as recommended by the manual, used my hand to press, after about 10 seconds I removed my hand and left it alone, I could see straight away that the liquid was "starting" to work, at this stage I used my microscope to inspect, and yes, it does melt the parts to get them to bond (capillary action), the items I was sticking did not bond strongly initially, I had to disappear to do something and then came back after 20 minutes and the joint was rock solid, it was "eureka" moment for me. Ok, so the product works, but what I hope as "improvement" can be by including some brush within it's like like other products, or a little syringe to come with it, other than that the product worked as I was hoping for, could do better maybe with some faster curing times, but it's not too bad after all.

worked great for welding 3d printed parts together. the part in question was a face mask, which had to be printed in parts to fit the bed of my machine. the thin edges made a solid bond using this stuff.

Definitely recommend this product if your a 3d printer or just into gluing certain things. It's good quality hardly smells. The actual glue is liquid based so you'll need something to apply like syringe or something. But super easy to use, you just add a little bit to either side then press or hold firmly. Within a couple minutes you have a completely welded piece which won't break.

I know it's been warm, but it's not much hotter than 20c where I do my model building, and this stuff evapourates almost instantly and doesn't achieve a proper weld in polystyrene. I had a lot of joints fail. The bottle is a bad shape being top heavy when full. The label prevents seeing how much is left without looking down the open neck. Between the number of reapplications needed and an early spillage, I used nearly the whole bottle on a few projects in weeks. Previously I used a bottle of Butanone that lasted years! I don't know, I thought this EMA stuff was supposed to be a "standard" which is why I wonder if it hasn't been dumbed down to suit some regulation or other. I now have a generic bottle of MEK and this is just working as it should.

Low viscosity, meaning it will run along the joint between surfaces (capilliary action): the "Thickness" score is not meaningful so ignore it (kept it clear, not zero stars). It dries very quickly. As it contains dichloromethane, it bonds PETG (and others) by chemical means rather than adhesion. You will need to apply pressure to ensure surfaces are suffuciently close in order to bond well. I also purchased TENS*L, which was much thicker (as powerful, but does not flow so well). For PETG and similar plastics, PlasticWeld is an excellent, very powerful product. If used correctly it out performs superglue, G*rilla glue, etc (as they do not chemically bond). For 'Airfix' plastics, use Contacta or similar is better for that application, and much safer too. YOU MUST VENTILATE THE WORKAREA DURING USAGE AND AFTER. IT IS HIGHLY POTENT STUFF! DO WEAR PPE!! Keep it locked away: it has a safety cap for very good reason!! Follow the instructions in other words!

Bought this to hopefully repair a skylite on our caravan which had broken along the full length of the hinge. Worked exceptionally well. Also stemmed the progress of anther crack which was spreading day by day. Well pleased with this product.
