Hi all,

 

I finally found a glue that does a good job gluing solid nylon.  It’s 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 didn’t fail.  I then put the
piece on my blacktop driveway and left it there for 5 days.  We’ve 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, I’m quite
sure the glue will work for building the clips I need to repair the siding
on my house.  I’ll 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 didn’t
press any of my fingers together or I’m quite sure I would have glued them
together.  I highly recommend the stuff.

 

Take care,

Ed Przybylek
