Thread: gluing engravable plastic

    gluing engravable plastic

    Can anyone recomend a good glue for gluing plastic to license plate frames. The frames are chrome plated and black painted steel and the plastic is various products from rowmark.

    I was using superglue, sanding the back of the plastic and the metal prior to applying, but I just had a customer return with a frame that had the plastic fall off.

    I have found that the best adhesive for multiple materials like metal/plastic is called E6000, available at plastic supply and some of the larger craft stores.

    Thanks Joe. I was a bit stressed telling them I didn't have an immediate option for them.
