Re: Glues for Soft Plastics

Hmm, tricksy. that soft plastic is mostly PVC and you can get glue
specific for pvc (repairing tents and stuff).
However, bonding it to styrene is difficult as these require different
glues to actually melt them.

So, you can either use all purpose glue like 'UHU Power'.
Something like 'UHU Allplast' might also work. It melts stuff, and
according to the pdf it works with polystyrene and hard pvc.

Good luck:-)
