I may be doning something soon that could involve gluing to non styrene plastic. It might be more like polyurethane. Does anyone know what types of glue to use for non styrene plastics?

Super glue/ CA glue is always your safest bet. Rough up the surface that you are glueing with a file or some scrapes with a knife and you'll be able to glue any kind of plastic.

ditto - you'll need superglue for smaller models. you may need epoxy resin for much larger models, like some dragons.

Check out my gallery here
Also I've started taking photos to use as reference for weathering which can be found here. Please send me your photos so they can be found all in one place!! |

You can also buy a bonding pen with some superglues that allow gluing to other plastics (even to things like Polypropylene which is notorious for not liking solvents. There IS a specific "liquid chemical death" solvent for polypropylene but it needs a forced air respirator as well as full PPE.

I'm OVER 50 (and so far over everyone's BS, too).
Old enough to know better, young enough to not give a ****.
That is not dead which can eternal lie ...
... and yet, with strange aeons, even death may die.
