Members PAMuzzle Posted February 23, 2024 Members Report Posted February 23, 2024 My brother bought these boxes for his grandkids. He wants me to glue VegTan leather name tags on the tops. Boxes are polypropylene. What would be best glue for this. I use Barge for most of my gluing. Thanks. Quote
Members Danne Posted February 23, 2024 Members Report Posted February 23, 2024 Renia Ortec seems to work fine with polypropylene plastics. I can't try it right now since I'm not home. http://www.renia.com/englisch/material.html Quote
Members Wepster Posted February 23, 2024 Members Report Posted February 23, 2024 This looking interesting https://www.hotmelt.com/blogs/blog/permanent-bonds-to-pp-and-pe-plastics Quote
toxo Posted February 23, 2024 Report Posted February 23, 2024 A rivet in each corner is sure to work. Quote

Members DieselTech Posted February 23, 2024 Members Report Posted February 23, 2024 (edited) Make sure you rough up the area for the patch to be glued or epoxied. Rough the box area up with 80 grit sand paper where the patch will be glued or epoxied. I would use west systems G-Flex 650 toughened 2 part epoxy. Edited February 23, 2024 by DieselTech Quote
Members TXBob Posted February 23, 2024 Members Report Posted February 23, 2024 I agree with toxo, rivets will work. The foam on the back side will protect the contents of the box. Quote
Members purplefox66 Posted February 23, 2024 Members Report Posted February 23, 2024 Drill holes and then saddle stitch it. I don't think rivets are a good idea it would be to easy to crack the plastic. Quote
Members DieselTech Posted February 23, 2024 Members Report Posted February 23, 2024 If they are going to fly with the case/boxes, wont drilling holes mess the pressure system the box was designed for doing. Plus it just introduces a place for water to get into the box/case & takes away from it being a water tight case/box. Quote
