This is for anyone who has actual experience.
I’ve been googling for a couple days, and have an inquiry out to 3M, have reviewed the data on Loctite’s pdfs.
I’d like to adhere ultem 1000 to wood, & possibly later to metal (17-4)
Epoxy is mentioned - is a common epoxy like WEST likely to be useful?
There seem to be references to urethanes, can’t tell whether that is opportunistic search engines or if, say “gorilla glue” etc would have any merit?
Cyanoacrylics cause crazing or failure? Or they just don’t bond?
So far Loctite 414 seems most likely, if it can be found rEasonably priced in small quantity. I have no qualms sourcing “good stuff” if it has a reasonable shelf life unless more common products serve well.
Thanks!
