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.

A rivet in each corner is sure to work.

Keep your knives sharp and your powder dry.

Yes this is a better choice than Renia, I didn't think about the fact that it doesn't have to flex

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.

I agree with toxo, rivets will work. The foam on the back side will protect the contents of the box.

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.

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.
