Advice to glue Polyester

[javier75]

Hi guys, I hope you all have had a good summer. I have recently received some blanks, and there is one of High End Polyester, so I was wonderind if some of you know which is the best glue to use in this material. Thanks in advance

Javier. -- presuming you are drilling and installing brass tube(s).

Two part epoxy is a good bet. I have been successful with set time of 5 to 30 minutes.

Depending on transparency, you may want to paint the inside of the blank.

Polyester

I make my own polyester resin blanks and when I drill and glue, I use two part epoxy. typically the 5 minute will work

Thank you both very much for your advices. I´ve been researching about the epoxi and it seems to be the best choice, but what I have found is too much expensive, not only for the price, but for the loss you get in the cannula in every use. But I will try it anyway, and I´ll show you the result. Thanks again for your kindness

I've used both epoxy and CA with Polyester Resin and prefer CA (either medium or thick). As long as you use a good quality CA and have proper coverage of the tube, you shouldn't have any problems.

I've been doing this for years and the only problems I've had with gluing tubes with CA have been from when I didn't have good coverage.
