I guess these days it is usually plastics that break so might as well go for one that works best on plastic but other things as well. I think I read somewhere that some of them have small gap filling properties. All very confusing. You can get fillers if there are gaps. |

| 704047 | 2008-09-12 06:25:00 | Fill broad gaps with baking soda . . . I used that while building RC aircraft for years . . . . . . Built the fillet FIRST in the area where you really REALLY want it . . . then drip in some of the regular C-A thin variety . Watch out for fumes from the smoke . . it gives off chlorine gas . . . use in well ventilated area . . . unless you don't want to . My bro-in-law used to set it off by blowing cigarette smoke at it . . . seemed to work OK . In the old days, we had Eastman 910 to use . . . but it was $$$$$! Somehow it seems to work best on things that are organic . . . having some carbon molecules in it . But from the WIKI: "Cyanoacrylate is a tenacious adhesive, particularly when used to bond non-porous materials or those that contain minute traces of water . " Wow . . . I also found this: "When added to baking soda (Sodium bicarbonate), cyanoacrylate glue forms a hard, lightweight filler/adhesive (baking soda is first used to fill a gap then the adhesive is dripped into the baking soda) . This works well with porous materials that the glue doesn't work well with alone . This method is sometimes used by aircraft modelers to assemble or repair polystyrene foam parts . Note that the reaction between cyanoacrylate and baking soda is very exothermic (heat producing) and also produces noxious vapors . " |
