20 Best Glue For Plexiglass (2022 Updated)

I ordered IPS Weld #16 instead oh #3 or #4 because I do not have the tools to produce two perfectly flat surfaces. I expected that @16 would fill the voids. I do not believe it did. I did not sand one of the plexiglass surfaces before gluing.

The glue did not penetrate that factory-smooth surface. I have a lot to learn about working with plexiglass.

Outstanding adhesive. I had to glue an acrylic sewing table for my wife that got broken in shipment. I followed directions for prepping the two pieces and put a piece of wax paper underneath. Lined everything up and applied a small ribbon of glue.

Left it sit for 24 hours and it turned out great, solid.

it has been really good at fixing different plastics in automotive and home, better then the stuff hardware stores have , Has a thick consistency works on pieces super glue wont dries crystal clear. Just have to let it set up 10 min or longer before moving piece.

It last a long time if you clean the cap threads and thread the cap on after use, My last tube lasted years.

Not good if you’re an amateur. (I am). difficult to use, gummy and gooey, tricky to close (the bottle kind of twists when you close it, especially if you’ve made a mess of the opening and your hands are covered in glue).

It didn’t work great with what I was trying to do – it peeled off of the metal I was using pretty easily. So – if you’re a newbie, try to find something with a built-in brush. Gorilla has something like that I tried and it worked a little better for me.

Great adhesive. Permanent hold!!! Dries clear. Very strong fumes.

Beacon Glue for glass and jewelry works very well and so far even decor that I leave outside stays glued and secure. It does dry clear. I wish there was a fine work attachment for a nozzle.

First, the can was a real pain to open. I did not want to use a vise grip to open it at the risk of completely bending the can. Ended up using one of those rubber wrenches to get it to open. right after opening, then there is another metal cover you have to remove, which again, is impossible to remove.

Use an icepick to punch a hole and then pry it off. the weldon 4 works fine. takes a few minutes to set, so you have plenty of time to readjust your pieces if needed. The applicator bottle needle has no cover.

most other seller listings I see has a cover for the needle. If the needle is not covered and you have left over weldon in the bottle, it will just completely evaporate. So do not fill up the bottle more than you need to use.

Weld-On solvent cements are the best for joining acrylic pieces. Just follow the directions and you can’t go wrong. The can I purchased was fresh stock. Bonus booklet (download) and helpful videos (youtube) are included.

BE CAREFUL! The syringe needles supplied are the type with SHARP tips, not blunt tips. Always replace the plastic tip cover when you set the bottle down. These needles are the best for acrylic work, but they are hard to see and you could accidently poke yourself while reaching across your bench, if not covered.

Not for use by children.

Great stuff. Like magic for 3d printing. Bonds PLA to PLA and PETG to PETG really well. Dissimilar plastics I had hope for, like PLA to PETG, but it does not produce a decent bond. Only downside is it needs to come in a more user friendly container.

But the applicator bottle is great.

Got this product to fill the holes in my plastic snow globe tumblers. The product sealed nicely, the only reason I’m giving this 4 stars is when you go to stop using the product it keeps coming out. Found out from you tube videos you have to pull back on the release and create a small air pocket to not allow anymore to come out.

This stuff smells just like chemicals. Took a while to get the smell to go away, gave me a headache. I’ve used resin before and this stuff is ridiculous. It comes out faster on one side so you don’t get a even mixture.

It didn’t even harden all of the way!.

I have tried this epoxy a few times only because its the only epoxy in the store. It never works. rubber , wood, plastic, laminate. it doesn’t bond good to anything long term. holds for a few days at most.

Its ok as filler but does not bond well.

What a nice refresh on super glue! I tend to buy single use glues as the tip regularly gets clogged on larger size tubes and I lose the remaining contents. This was not the case with Gorilla’s Super Glue Ultra Control Gel.

I have now used it multiple times on various surfaces e. g. wood, ceramic, plastic and have not had an issue with blockages. Apart from its versatility, it is easy to apply, bonds instantly and it is strong enough to maintain that bond days later.

Notably, I glued a strip of wood under my stove that my toddler is constantly pulling off, he has since tried to remove it to no avail. This is now my go to for all future super glue projects.

First off, it oozes out of the tube every time you open it and drips, so you need to have something under it, and use it quickly, then wipe the tip so the lid doesn’t glue to it. 2nd, it does NOT set in 10 seconds and it’s no good for verticle surfaces unless you plan to sit there and hold it for several minutes.

Definitely not what I was looking for.

Strong, easy to apply and sensible packaging make this the best super glue. Don’t waste you time with cheap tubes with lids that never unscrew and tubes that break and go hard. This is very simple, easy to apply and when you need it you won’t have to mess about getting the cap off or finding it’s dried out like the traditional poor package stuff is.

The gel helps a lot with intricate jobs but depending what you intend to do you may also want to get the thinner traditional stuff with the brush application instead. Most jobs need precision and this gel is perfect.

I’m still surprised I didn’t need to wash my hands after using super glue!.

In my many years as a classroom art teacher, I have learned to add Gorilla glue to my supply list. I teach pre-k to 8th grade, typically; with variations on grade level ranges. Why would an elementary art teacher need such a strong adhesive? I needed this because I teach children, and children drop, break, and simply play with things until they fall to pieces.

Despite my best efforts to teach children about the function and purpose of decorative arts, I have had a line up of 5 to 12-year-olds year round with art pieces that left my classroom carefully packaged in 1 piece; and returned sometime later in several pieces.

This glue has never been given to children, and I have made sure that all “doctoring” of art pieces happens after class. Gorilla glue bonds basically any surface to any surface, and this stuff was even more effective than the foamy yellow nonsense I used to use.

Clear grip will take the ceramic ear of your Second Grade child’s bunny mug and reattach to look like new. I have repaired clay pottery like a pro, with absolutely no training in this type of skill. The trick I made up is to add dabs of glue with a Q-tip to each side of the break, and then gently put the pieces together.

Next I use masking tape or painter’s tape to make sure the cracked area is firmly “clamped” in place. I hold the pieces sometimes for delicate breaks, and this glue sets quite quickly and almost effortlessly.

Parents and kids have been so happy with the repairs, they have often returned with broken toys, trophies from random sports tournaments, soccer cleats and more. At one point, I had a “broken stuff” section of my art room where anyone could deposit a “too loved” item for my fixing.

Beyond this, Gorilla glue has helped me in developing several tools for art teaching, or objects needed to make the job possible. My artist assistant and I created custom frames for a 4th grade mini mosaic project, using gorilla glue to adhere the finished tile pieces to solid wood.

( The kids only used kid-safe mosaic glue for the actual art). We also used Gorilla glue to attach PVC pipe plastic tubes together to create some mighty fine and super lightweight flexible weaving looms.

Whether I drop someone’s coffee mug, or someone comes to me with a headless sculpture in need of “immediate surgery”, this glue is always in my “teacher only cabinet” for instant fixing.

Quite similar to an old favorite called “The Welder. ” It differs from “Goop” or “E6000” in that it flows much nicer than those and doesn’t “ball” up as much when spread out. This adhesive is perhaps best suited for patching rubber-type products (such as floor mats), especially when used with fiberglass backing cloth.

Just be sure to thoroughly scuff the surface you’re gluing beforehand. Gorilla claims this adhesive is UV resistant, but I highly doubt that and would coat any exposed areas. Gorila says the adhesive is waterproof, but it shouldn’t be used where there is constant immersion or in below the water line applications.

This product can be used to fill in smaller-sized gaps- which can especially helpful in areas where flexibily is important- but the product’s thinness means runs can be a problem when applying on vertical surfaces.

Larger gap filling should be done incrementally (as in, apply product, allow it to dry for a day or 2, then re-apply) rather than doing it in one big glob, as the product may never cure properly. This glue has a very long shelf life as long as you keep the cap on tight.

The tube I’m using is several years old now, yet but it still works fine.

So I bought this glue for a craft project because the E5000 smells so bad/strong and it really gets to you after awhile. However the gorilla glue is basically the exact same glue and it also smells. I would buy which ever one has the best price.

It worked well for my projects. It’s messy as it’s in a tube and continues to ooze out. Also the metal tubes get holes in them as you roll them up. If you’ve never used it before it is essentially a strong rubber glue.

I was gluing glass with it and it holds strong, but even after it dried for a few days I could pull it apart if I didn’t like what I did and rub the glue off to start over. Thats a plus for me because I change my mind a lot.

Lol.

This has been my go to glue for years now. It is super glue, so anyone using it needs to be as careful as with any other super glue. It dried very fast and very permanently. However the gel control aspect of this one makes it far easier than most super glues to control placement and amount.

I use this on wood, metal, plastic, fabric, ceramic, literally everything. Smooth or porous surface both work fine. A little goes a long way. The one issue is actually a pro and con. The tabs on the side used to squeeze out the glue are great for controlling the glue, however when you get about half way down on glue level, they start to become hard to squeeze.

I actually use a pair of pliers to squeeze them so that I get all the glue out of the bottle. The propack price at Michaels is a really good deal compared to other buying options, so if you need more than a single bottle this is the way to go.

It takes a little time to figure out the right amount of glue, drying time, controlling the bottle for placement, but once you do, this is the one.

This glue bonds very well, just be aware of what type material your bonding. It is excellent if i. e. bonding a stone or crystal to metal, some materials i. e. some leathers, small car repairs. I found it does not work great on some ribbons, not all card stock or paper.

A little goes very far and bonds tight. Be careful it will bond your fingers!!, Not very easily washed off so work careful. The pointed nozzle allows you to target your area. I as well learned the first time that there is not much in the bottle, so I only use it when I know I need a very strong bond keeping in mind the type material.

It does not require much , a small dot will give a strong bond. I learned about this glue from seeing crafting shows and was amazed at the little tiny amount they would use. I have been using this glue for about two years now, it usually bonds quickly, unless your attempting to bond something resistant.

If the material seems resistant I will just apply the glue and use something metal to hold in place a few extra seconds until it bonds.

I love the design of the bottle. The cap was easy to open and you don’t have to puncture a hole to squeeze the glue out. Every time I open the glue thinking it will be hard, it never is. I would say it is always ready to use.

The bottle has these squeezable sides that makes it so easy to squeeze the glue out. The small opening of the top allows for precision gluing. I needed to glue together my pen that had that a big diamond crystal on top.

After letting the glue dry for about a minute, the pen was more secure than when I first purchased it. I will definitely be recommending this product to my family and friends. Loctite is the only super glue I’ll be using.

After trying dozens of different adhesives I found Loctite 326 in conjunction with Loctite Primer SF 7649 to work the best for gluing metal to metal. I only wish Zoro carried the primer in 1. 75 oz liquid so the customer could purchase one bottle instead of ten.

Zoro only carries the spray primer in single units. I did purchase the spray, but I like the liquid better.

I also purchased the activator however as a 1st time user I’m still struggling with how much glue to use as the activator is not working well at all. I would like to have short instructions on the bottle stating how much glue to use and how best to use the activator.

I expected the activator to cure the glue in minutes. Instead, 8hr later it’s still gummy.

this is a good product. Only problem there is no solvent. Once the bond works, there is no way to undo it. It is the strongest bond I have ever found as long as you don’t want to change your mind.
