    Gorilla glue is the best way to go. I built a CNC machine and I trusted that to hold my frame solid and flat.

    Epoxy is the best for plastics, yes. But if you screw up and get it somewhere you cant get it off without a harsh solvent. I got some on my hand once with no solvent and had to pull it off, along with 90% of my skin. I just prefer to be safe and use gorilla glue.

    Thanks for the link Grumpy! I looked up gorilla glue and it can be sanded and painted as well as epoxy, i wouldnt have looked for that if it wasn't for your link.

    lol when my daughter was 2 we had a lil accident with super glue(Daddy left it open on the table) so i bet this stuff would be way worse!

    this is a dedicate area to use epoxy or gorilla because of it density and swelling, therefore you do need to sand the glue down afterward. In this case I think crazy glue works best. Bottom line any clues will work with plastic.

    Run down to your local welder's or bodyshop and get them to braze it. You can do it yourself if you have a Mapp Gas Torch
