This not as off topic as I would think. If a machine repair has an encounter with super-glue or contact cement the result is not so great.
Another OT item is plastic pieces on you name it that break off, maybe like the tabs on a cover plate. Gluing with solvent plastic cement is
the only thing that works. I've tried super-glue, white epoxy, clear epoxy, etc. All that stuff never really works. And I went to Home Depot
today and there was just Gorilla glue and super-glue. Construction adhesive in big tubes.
Another OT item is gluing metal like aluminum to plastic. Super-glue on AL to AL works. Solvent cement works on plastic to plastic.
What about AL to plastic. Maybe super-glue works but I don't trust it.
Or maybe my opinion on super-glue is based on data like having a tube around for a few years and then using it. Is the right thing to do is
just buy it in those small tubes when you need it. Then if it goes beyond a number of weeks the glue degrades and is not as effective?
