What is worse with superglue is when people buy cheapo, generic brands, thinking "that'll do" - my Dad bought one recently, it came out like a semi-sticky kinda gel liquid, took about an hr to set. Junk. |

Bicarbonate of Soda mixed with superglue creates a very hard, sandable, and strong filler. |

And heating plastics, HDPE in particular, really aids in adhesion. Try superglue on a milk carton, it falls off. Heat the surface with a butane torch first, then try again :) |
