Im working on a food processor. Plastic insert in metal blade and a seperate plastic center drive shaft. So if you'll know what type of plastic this is. Decided JB Weld would be ok for the blade because it had some bumbs and valleys and a grove for the weld and it would be plastic to plastic and plastic to metal compressed together. The drive shaft is all plastic but held to form when in use by the plastic collar in the blade. So it has actualy been broke for a while. Still need to know the best glue for the shaft. Parts online $20 new food processor $25. So its the glue or new. The glue thing is interesting since I tried to glue a patch on my sons plastic radiator last week no luck. I fixed a wollered out hole for a fan switch in a dash by trimming out and forming a new piece with a dremmel and glueing with epoxy. Seems like that stuff works better between or in compression.

I agree with the others: you almost have to know what kind of plastic you are working with. I have had some luck with model airplane glue, abs cement, pvc cement, Seal-All, contact cement and even lacquer thinner, depending on what plastic I was trying to bond. I also have run into some plastics like nylon that I could never get to work with glue at all. I have tried heat "welding" with a soldering iron, but have never been very satisfied with the results.

You might want to try different glues on scrap pieces to see if any will bond well enough for the job you are doing. Good luck!

The stuff used on PVC, CPVC, etc is actually a solvent that melts them togeather. But like said you need to know what type of plastic your working with.

The glue to use would depend somewhat on the type of plastic being glued.

As already stated, different plastics use different glues. Try acetone. It works with several types of plastic and is sold at Walmart in the paint dept.
