: This looks good for bonding poly to poly, but it costs $85 for a half pint!
: If you're going to spend that much, 3M makes a two part adhesive that
: sould like it's more versatile and you can get it and the required mixing
: gun for around the same price.

Your right, poly to poly only. Hope no one was mislead.

: I didn't see anything here about bonding polypropylene.
Your right again, I reference it because the manufacturer says in that document "...other substrates will show good adhesion results..." and later in the surface prep section "polyolefins must be corona or flame treated before bonding". Perhaps a bit of a stretch, huh?

: Teflon is specifically EXCLUDED with all three of their products.
Your right again, again. My information did not come from the website. It came from a product announcement in an engineering trade mag (Design Mart pg43, June 2003, Penton publications), and it specifically enumerates "Fusionbond is a two component, methacrylates adhesive that is specially formulated to bond to diverse substrates such as ABS, Nylon, PVC, Gel Coats, PBT blends, Steel, Teflon, and more." I would tend to believe the website doc as it apears to be generated by engineering sources while my doc is marketing bs.

Geez, I'm so defensive!
