This is a great guide and summarizes many things I've found through trial and error myself. One thing I would like to add is that when gluing plastics and similar materials, e.g. broken sunglass temples, it can help to roughen up the contact surfaces with sandpaper before applying glue to create more contact area. In my anecdotal experience the seal will fare a lot better this way.
- stavros 4y agoThis is true for any glue, btw. It gives the glue more mechanical anomalies to "grab" onto.
- amelius 4y agoI tried superglue on _plastic_ sunglass temples once, and it just didn't stick.
- Etheryte 4y agoThere's certain types of plastics super glue doesn't bond to, similar to some gloves as mentioned in the article. While pretty universal, it still doesn't quite work on everything.
