Dave: If you are using styrene for the extension then I would use MEK.

Has anyone had the occasion to cement a KD-802 box to a piece of styrene, such
as an extension mount. What would the best cement for this, either a Tenax,
ACC, or JBWeld type. Thanks Much.

RE: {S-Scale List} 802 coupler boxes,
Since the 802 draftgear is acetal/delrin, none of those. There is supposed to
be a cement which works with them, but I am not sure how strong it would be
over time (and I believe it is more expensive).I think I'd use a mechanical
connection, screwing the draftgear to the styrene if possible.

Re: {S-Scale List} 802 coupler boxes
Hi David -- If you can get your hands on it, Plastruct orange label liquid cement will glue almost any non slippery plastic to any other by welding the pieces. It won’t work on nylon, Teflon, or acetyl engineering plastics, but ABS, regular styrene, Lexan, Plexiglas, and other acrylics are all fine. I have used the stuff to repair all kinds of things, not just as a model glue. Be careful using it – it is toxic, flammable and very aggressive – not good for assembling small parts like you find in a PRS kit or wherever there is a chance for paint to be ruined. Have fun!

the only adhesive, that i know of, that works with dissimilar materials 100% of the time, is cyanepoxy, sold exclusively by mike rose hobbies, and it is not cheap, but you will never have anything seperate, ever mel perry On Oct 8, 2013, at 8:07 AM, David Engle wrote: Has anyone had the occasion to cement a KD-802 box to a piece of styrene, such as an extension mount.
