Glue/Bonding hard metal to plasic? What matieral

**judoGTI** · 06-02-2004, 08:31 AM

Hey everyone,

I'm looking for a quick drying adhesive that will glue steel to plastic.

I'd like dry time (dry enough to remove clamps) to be around 5 minutes.

Any recommendations?

Thx.

what kind of plastic? If your talking about interior panels, it's kinda hard, since the plastic manufacturers use on interiors is hard to bond to. I suggest using a good adhesion promoter first:

Then, a plastic epoxy such as:

That should give you a really good bond. The bulldog adhesion promoter works well also for getting fiberglass to adhere to plastic as well.
