Mobile Solutions offers several material specifi c plastic adhesive solutions. Many fabricators assume it is okay to use CA glue for every plastic surface (especially in dash panel work) when, in fact, there are often more suitable adhesives depending on the plastic material type. Of course acrylics like “Plexiglas” and other brands also require special adhesives.

Use Weld-On (water consistency) acrylic cement for joining acrylic plastics, particularly when laminating multiple colored plastics together. Sold in a 4oz. can. The 2oz. applicator bottle with 20 ga. (syringe type) needle is sold separately.

If it’s clear acrylic then you want to use the Weld-On #16 gel. It dries optically clear so you can’t even see the glue joint. Sold in a 5oz. tube and the consistency is like syrup. It will dry clear so it will not show the glue joint.

If you are bonding ABS plastic to itself or bonding other styrene and polycarbonate type plastics to themselves, use Weld-On #2354. It’s got the consistency of syrup and is sold in a 5oz. can. This adhesive is not for joining dissimilar plastics.

Use Kent 2-Part Automotive Epoxy for bonding metal, plastics, SMC, and fi berglass to each other. It’s the best! Ready to sand and paint within an hour. Resists chemical intrusion. Sold in two 8oz. tubes.

Ray Crete is excellent for dash reconstruction. You can cut, drill, sand, paint, router, and shape. Repair fiberglass and PVC as well as other “brittle” thermosets. Workable while it cures, and changes from liquid to paste to putty to solid in 20 minutes. It can bond and adhere to dissimilar surfaces, wood, concrete, metals, glass, and fiberglass.
The possibilities are endless for this multi-mender.
