Tea? (Part 2)

Sorry, I meant Araldite! AS for Evostick - I don't know ...

Araldite might not be that great. I've never had much success with it on the oily looking plastics such as polythene.

I think you can get specific superglue now for plastic. I'm sure I have got some somewhere.

You might be right about the 'oily' plastics. They seem to be the ones that Superglue won't stick to e.g. the broken mounting bracket for my GPS.

Araldite definitely works very well with 'drier' plastics though. The baggage handlers at either Manchester or Alicante airport dropped my £350 Scicon bike box onto one corner and trashed it. I bought a thin sheet of aluminium and cut and bent it to the right shape to reinforce the corner of the box and used Araldite to bond it in place. It formed an incredibly strong bond.

I don't think I would be allowed to use superglue. Mr d thinks I am a a danger. Mainly to myself I might add. I would probably glue myself to something.

@ColinJ evostick was rubbish anyway. And it smelt funny.

I worked as a factory labourer for several years and when I first started there, they used a glue very similar to Evostick. Every time I smell it now, I am transported back to being in my early 20s in a factory unit in Coventry.

November will be the month when I get my dodgy right knee sorted.......I've decided that it is the said knee that is stopping me from being a race-bred Froome dog.

(some of this post is true and some is made up )

Bad month to go into hospital is November!!

Im trying to decide which picture of me to show. Either a godawful one or just plain awful. They are all old because I don't like having my picture taken. I look hideous. Watch this space.

Is something going to happen?

Agreed. It worked well fixing our Dyson when the handle snapped off too.

@classic33 ok classic. Have a look. Bear in mind this picture is 11 years old. I don't have long hair anymore.

Is that all?
I was expecting something along the lines of the ones awaited from @Mad Doug Biker!!

@classic33 no way. Its best if I change it back now. Don't want to scare the natives to much.
