Thanks fellas, and Mick.

Been there, got that headache.

It's mainly plastics I'm gluing, kids toys and shelves they rive out of the fridge.

Some plastic on metal, fabrics now and then.

I used to use superglue for everything, it's utter shite now.

Even when you glue your fingers together you can free them with a good shower.

When I was a lad....

If the plastic is ABS then Eththyl Methyl Ketone ( spelling ) will devolve it and join it together . This can be found in " osma pipe cement " and works a treat . You can use the Osma cement to make a fillet like a weld .

Some of the vast range of "silicone gun" type adhesives like Tec7 and Stixall(an Evostick product) are very very good, and I have used to fix various domestic odds and ends, if used as directed, also impressed by Gorilla glue, for wood, and Cascamite/Extramite, ditto for wood in the past.

Ideally need to find a trade rep for 3M or Loctite, or other big name manufacturer, and see what "factory" spec stuff they can get.

Since I used to know the "heid buck Cat" for Loctite Ireland.

But always "horses for courses"

PS

Agree about modern SuperGlue, being shite.
