Thread: Rubber toughened Super Glue

Ebay
200 baht including shipping to Thailand

Thanks for the suggestion but but I don't do eBay.

On a larger scale or is that smaller scale if the seller is not in Thailand how does that help the local (where I live ) economy.

Araldite epoxy glue is probably your best option. you will find it in any Thai hardware store for around 40- 50 Baht. It comes in two tubes. You need to mix together but it gives a rock solid fix to most things. far better than your superglue.

^ Yeah I'm going to wander down tomorrow. If no luck it is off to Chinatown for some Loctite 480.

Big Fella,

Epoxy is Ok but a bit too permanent. Super glue can be removed by soaking metal parts in nail polish remover.

With respect mate, but l would'nt have Araldite in my work shop, i've used it years ago and it fails. Just to see what it did work on, l set up a number of tests, wood to wood rubber to what ever, you name it and all failed, total rubbish.
Now saying that, Loctite make good stuff, depends on your application, as doe's V 60 silicon ( available in Australia under that name ) not all silicons are the same but that stuff is fantastic.

Loctite 405

405 is a cyanoacrylate (super glue). I use for joining oring cord & never had any problems over 20 years

Big Fella,

Your nail polish remover is called ( Acetone ) & here in Thailand they mix water in to as you can not see the water.

I use a lot of Acetone & get angry with my supplier when they add water.

I must have bought a lucky tube then because unlike all the superglues I have tried everything I used the epoxy on is till firmly attached

I like 'Pattex' epoxy. Comes in 2 tubes, resin & hardner at about 45 Baht from most DIY superstores. Takes 24 hour to cure, but I find that it does the trick.
