- Hard to bond plastic
- Polypropylene
- Polyethylene
- Instant repair
The specialist for plastics that defeat normal super glue. The felt-tip activator chemically preps slick PE/PP/PTFE surfaces so the CA can grab, making it the answer for cracked tote lids, bumpers, and appliance housings.
Pros
- Activator primes polyethylene, polypropylene, and PTFE that ordinary super glue can't touch
- Bonds in about 30 seconds with no clamping or mixing required
- Dries clear and resists water, most chemicals, and freezing temperatures
Cons
- Tiny kit is single-repair-sized; the glue tube empties after a few jobs
- Two-step activator-then-glue workflow is slower and fussier than a one-tube glue
- Bond line is thin and rigid, so it needs well-fitting parts and no gap filling
