3M Super Strength Adhevise SUCKS!

Epoxies work good in some cases, even with bakelite and phenolics. All in what you have to do I guess. Maybe that's why they say to try the product in an inconspicuous area before committing to the whole job? Cyanoacrylates don't seem to work worth a crap anymore, I doubt you'd find a person willing to hang from a helmet glued to a steel beam with it anymore. We had some stuff that came in large bottles in the AF - that was some wicked adhesive (my boss leaned his elbow into a spot of it while yacking with a co-worker and had to be lacquer thinnered off the item) => -----Original Message----- => From: owner-classiccmp(a)classiccmp.org => [mailto:owner-classiccmp@classiccmp.org]On Behalf Of Eric Dittman => Sent: Monday, February 18, 2002 5:12 PM => To: classiccmp(a)classiccmp.org => Subject: Re: 3M Super Strength Adhevise SUCKS! => => => > Just wanted to let everyone know that 3M Super Strength Adhevise is => > absolutely THE WORST adhesive to use on plastics.
