Hi all,
I finally found a glue that does a good job gluing solid nylon. Its called Surehold Plastic Surgery. I took two pieces of nylong ¼ by ¼ by 6 inches and glued them together to see how well Plastic Surgery would bond the two pieces together. After gluing them together, I put the result in my freezer for several days. Every now and then I took the piece out of the freezer and flexed it in all directions. The bond didnt fail. I then put the piece on my blacktop driveway and left it there for 5 days. Weve had some very warm days lately and the driveway got quite hot. Again, I flexed the piece to test the bond. It held with no problems. At this point, Im quite sure the glue will work for building the clips I need to repair the siding on my house. Ill have the clips done by the end of the week and will be installing them next week. I have no doubts that the clips will hold up just fine. Do be careful, though, if you ever decide to play with Plastic Surgery. I got some on my fingers when working with it and it took the entire day before I was able to peel it off my skin. Luckily, I didnt press any of my fingers together or Im quite sure I would have glued them together. I highly recommend the stuff. Take care, Ed Przybylek [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
