[QUOTE="jdyoung, post: 1936534, member: 113391"] The question is “ can cyanoacrylate glue attach something to polypropylene type plastics”. Everything I read said it could, and In my experience, it can. But I believe each plastic can be different so , figured I would experiment instead of mowing the grass on this 90+ deg day. I searched through my firearms hovel and found a section of buttstock that I cut off of my Granddaughters Savage Axis when I shortened it to fit her. Took a while to find it and the fiber glass matt. I scuffed up part of the inside of the surface with a drum sander in my Dremel, swabbed that portion with Loctite Plastics Bonder and applied some GlueMasters Thick Instant Glue ([I]cyanoacrylate[/I]). Why didn’t I use Loctite glue ([I]cyanoacrylate[/I])? I couldn’t get the cap off of it. Besides , GlueMasters is pretty much my favorite super glue ([I]cyanoacrylate[/I]). It comes in thick, medium, and thin for different applications. With it , I’ve repaired sneakers, hikers, trash can lids, eye glasses to name a few. So then, within a minute, I laid a cut piece of fiber glass matt from NAPA ( [I]30+ years old[/I]), onto the inside of the buttstock where the [I]cyanoacrylate[/I] settled evenly. And using a piece of plastic knife from Dominos, gently put pressure on the fiber glass matt until it looked slightly transparent. That was at 2 pm-ish, ( [I]seems really secure so far[/I]), but I’m going to give it 24 hours, and then apply another layer, wait another 24 hrs. and see if an epoxy, ( [I]Acra glass- JB Weld etc[/I]) will adhere to the fiber glass matt.
