Best epoxy/glue?

Rzrman328 · Jan 30, 2016

Yes, I've searched already.

I've come up with JB weld, gorilla glue, loctite and even shoe goo lol

Any recommendations or experience is appreciated.

Its gonna be used on plastic if that helps.

Do you want a hard setting or flexible?

Let me see if I can find the stuff I used on electronics... it was black. I don't know if you was a certain color black/white/clear?

Rzrman328 · Jan 30, 2016

Doesn't matter what color.

What are you trying to do with the epoxy specifically?

I used to work in collision repair and there is some pretty intense adhesive and plastic repair epoxies available. I had to make new tabs for a plastic bumper and "shave" a license plate pocket in a plastic bumper by gluing a flat piece of plastic over it and reinforcing it with epoxy from DuraMix which ended up being bought out by 3M. It was about $35/tube but I couldn't have asked for better performance. You could probably glue a tailgate onto a truck and that **** would hold it on there.

Pegatanke, Works Great.

Nothing too crazy...I'm planning on retrofitting my fogs with projectors and I may need to glue them to the existing fog housing. So I really need something that will hold like...forever..so it won't come loose down the road.

I would go with heavy duty auto body epoxy. The stuff they use to glue on aluminum roofs to steel unibodies. Contact your local auto body supplier to get some. 3M and SEM are good brands.

It really depends on what "type" of plastic (assuming its plastic) that you're trying to bond. Epoxies don't bond low surface energy plastics (like polypropylene, polyethylene, and TPO’s) very well at all.

Most of the fog/headlight housings are these types of plastics.

In this case, I'd suggest 3M Scotch-Weld Structural Plastic Adhesive #DP8005.

Don't glue them in.....

Bolt the projectors into your fogs.

Just don't use JB "Kwik" Weld on plastic. For some reason, it cures soft on plastic.

for sniffing I have always preferred well any will do. Good luck with the project otherwise.

T21 Fusor, it's a two part epoxy. Or autozone sells a two part epoxy called plastic weld that works pretty good. But the T21 Fusor is what we use on body panels and such in the body shop of the International Truck Dealership I work at.
