Glueing plastic parts with ca glue
Hey i have a t-spec, and parts are quite rare, and i was wondering how well a plastic hub could hold up with some ca glue? it woudnt be perminant, just a make shift part to use before the new parts arrive. What do u guys think? Thanks.

Don't use any kicker (Accelerator) though. That won't give the glue a chance to bond and the joint will be weak.

i used to glue them with tire glue and light it, tire glue is very flammable so be carful and the fumes will frekin blind you they are so noxious but i'd melt the plastic back together, if you use a vice it can be almost as good as a new part maybe a little less resistant

RE: Glueing plastic parts with ca glue
alright, thanks a lot guys, what about if i take a soldering iron to it, and see if it could melt it, do you think thats a posibility? I wanna get back out there before it snows again, so thats why im asking so urgently.
Yeah, i tryed trinity's replacement parts service, and im ready to order the parts, but im talking about just for now, until they come, becuase you never know how long that could take.

RE: Glueing plastic parts with ca glue
I actually DID use CA glue on my evader rear hub and this is an off-road car and it held up at my track... untill someone cut in front of me and shot me 10 feet in the air and broke it in a different spot...
since it's a TC yes it will work well

CA glue will work REALLY WELL!!!
stuff is amazing....
if u really want a good hold, get some carboin fiber cloith and cut little strips... I've repaired so many parts this way....
