I have recently rediscovered my HP41C and HP200LX
units. The
200LX has a
partial crack in the top lid back by the hinge, such that if
it cracked all
the way through, the top (screen) would only be attached by
one side. I want
to glue the crack (it gaps when opening the unit) before it
breaks all the
way through. Is it better to use a superglue or a regular
elmers glue? Just
I wouldn't even bother to try getting "elmer's glue" to work
on that. Superglue is definitely the way to go, given those
choices. In general I find it adheres to that type of plastic
perfectly well, but may take longer to set to the point where
it's useful. Give it at least 24 hours to be safe. Honestly,
it would be overkill, but I'd let it set a few days. Glue both
sides if possible, and if there's a way to clamp the work
together without damaging the palmtop, do it.
You may even be able to remove excess with a metal nail-file.
