Best Adhesive for PC Blend
I really like the mechanical properties of PC Blend and I can get it to print reasonably well. What are the best adhesives to glue pieces together? From what I have read and tried, CA does not seem to work and 5 minute epoxy works but doesn't create a very good bond. Has anyone had better luck with something else?
Thanks

Check out this adhesive: 3M Scotch-Weld 4475
It is said to be well suited for bonding PC.

For a firm bond I use Mike's Model & Craft glue, but I have not used it on PC Blend. It does mention ABS (among other things) on the label, not PLA, but I have bonded PLA with it and it holds firm. Ditto for all other nonspecific plastic I've used it on. This is a variant of the common super glues, but it will work on some porous materials such as some woods.
For a more forgiving bond I use Aileen's The Ultimate Multi-Surface Adhesive.

I may have maligned CA; I’ve gone back and tried it again and it binds well if the surface is lightly sanded. Of course, it always binds well to your fingers too!

I use a 2 part plastic adhesive bonder from your local home store.
