what glue would be best?

[kustomcougar]

i just recently bought a center counsle and it took it the top part apart to paint it, what glue would be best to put it back together so it holds back togetheer really good? the part it took off i had to break some plastic clips that held it together

[Comando489]

take some pictures of the clips and see if you can replace them at auto zone.

[kustomcougar]

the clips looks like they where plastic welded to the center counsole, would super glue work for this?

[Comando489]

what kid of surface is it on both sides? are there flat parts where they can touch each other? then i would say yes...

[kustomcougar]

ya it looks like the 2 plastic pieces should touch

[freednighthawk]

I'd say a good 2 part epoxy would be best, unless you are planning on taking them back apart and repainting at some point.

gorilla glue works good on anything

what about gluing the foam back to the door panels? Will a glue gun be good? Superglue did not work. :\

[madcustomz]

hot glue

There are some good spray glues made by 3M but they are a little pricey. Also, I have not found anything that the Automotive Goop hasn't worked good on. :)

JB weld and JB kwik FTW

3M spray adhesive.

Hot glue will not work, it will become gooey in the heat of the sun.

Do not use Super Glue, it will eat the plastic, as will most hardcore glues.

Buy a specific Plastic Adhesive -- go to a store, and ask the guy what they carry for perm-bonding plastic.
