2013-06-04MIA BARKER: Good question. I additionally bought the mixing tubes but apparently you need to also buy the plungers separately to dispense. I assumed they would be included as they are in every other type of glue that comes in a similar dispenser. I didn't want to re-order as the glue is already really expensive so I tried to fashion my own plunger. That didn't work and the glue was all lost. Probably great glue but get the plungers. I ended up using some marine epoxy I had around and it worked great. Good luck.

2013-06-03USSAIL1454 . asked: How much area does a 50 ml cover?
I need to glue plastic track on to my Forte carbon fiber mast. The track is roughly 20 feet for The Flying Dutchman mast.
Is there a similar least expensive product that would have the same results?
Thanks,
Gordon

2013-06-03MARK HOMMER: I would estimate that 50 ml would cover a maximum of 1 square foot. I don't know of other products that have similar bonding properties.

2013-01-07ERIC LIPPERT: Hi Bob, this is Eric in Seattle. I used the small tubes of plexus without much difficulty when repairing a broken mast track on an I-14 last year. It was a bit messy but certainly doable. If I were repairing carbon masts professionally all day long then I would certainly want the gun-style applicator, but for just a one-off job it wasn't worth the expense.
I will caution you that it smells *terrible*, so hopefully your repair job is outside.
Cheers,
Eric
2013-01-07Bob Bondo: Eric,
Thank you for your reply. The two pices of plastic I want to join are less then 3 inches in length and about 1/4 inch thick. I will try without a gun.
2013-01-07MARK HOMMER: I use the epoxy to repair my kayak's inevitable small cracks and punctures. I use wooden popsicle sticks to mix and apply the epoxy to the hull's surface and then sand smooth when it hardens (I wait a few hours when possible). The numerous repairs over the years are not pretty, but functional, durable and watertight.
2013-01-07CAPTAIN TED SEEFELDT: Yes. I used Plexus MA 310 to to adhere a plastic Lewmar hatch handle to the outside of the hatch cover...very small job requiring only 1 inch diameter of adhesive. No gun needed for this small job.
2013-01-07Mark M: Simple answer: yes. Mix on wax paper like any epoxy.
2013-01-07OLE KILS: The gun helps dispense exact proportions which is nice, but it is a bit of an investment if you are only looking for small jobs. The gun basically gives you an ergonomic package with which to displace the plungers in both cylinders of the cartridge, basically a double-syringe. Keep in mind that the cartridges are sized to dispense correct amounts of product per linear actuation of the plunger. If you can find a way to evenly press both plungers on the cartridge, you can do without the gun. When using the gun with the disposable mixing nozzle, you will get nicely proportioned and mixed adhesive, but since the nozzle needs to fill first, and has to be discarded full, it also takes a up a significant amount of adhesive which can be more than you might need to bond on a small fastener for example. I have used the gun without the nozzle to dispense onto a flat surface and mixed by hand, and I have also used the plunger only to dispense proportional amounts w/o the gun. If you are going to be doing any significant amount of bonding, the gun is surely nice to have.
2013-01-07ROBERT PARKER: I did a small job fxing cracks in a sailboat hull. The small batches of Plexus come in a dual hypodermic like tube, similar to epoxies at Home Depot or Lowes. It was easy to squirt the stuff out and mix it on the surface. There's no need for a gun if you're doing small jobs.
2013-01-07JOHN GILMOUR: I use the plex tubes so that I don't need the gun.
2013-01-07MATTHEW HALL: This is a duel tube dispenser with different size holes for proper ratio. All you need is a couple dowels or square prices of wood mounted evenly to a board to push the glue out. Like Most epoxies you buy in the store that come with the means to expell the two resins. That's all that is missing.
2013-01-08JACK BARNES: This is a great product. I recommend using the gun for this product as it makes it so easy to push out the correct ratio of mix. For small amounts or a onetime use, I have omitted the mixing tips and just pushed the mix (with the gun) onto a pallet and mixed thoroughly with a small putty or kitchen knife.
2012-06-26JIM MOSIER asked: will this attach fiberglass to a metal surface?

2012-06-26David Sherman: Hey Jim, never tried with this product.
You might want to look into West G Flex depending upon your application. VTY, David
2012-06-26MICHAEL ALEXANDER: Jim,
I don't know. I was directed to the product by Lewmar Hatches - used it to reattach a plastic hatch latch to one of their Plexiglass hatches.
Good Luck,
Mike
2012-06-26CAPTAIN TED SEEFELDT: do not know. I used it to attach Lewmar hatch handle ( plastic) to the plexglass cover.
2012-06-26BOB PANELLA: Yes it will, Im not sure on the strength of the bond but it will definitely attach the two surfaces. Hope this helps.
2012-06-26MATTHEW HALL: I have used this to bond aluminum and steel to fiberglass and also to plastic snowmobile hoods. I chose this for the snowmobile work do its strength I extreme temperatures. When bonding metals to fiberglass, If it is structural, it is best to add the glass over the metal as much as possible. Also roughing the metal surface to be bonded or drilling holes for better adhesion is recommended.
2012-01-16MARK ROY asked: What pigment can I add to the MA 310 to make it white?
+Expand Answers
2012-01-17David Sherman: Hey Mark, I used it w/o pigment and was very pleased.
Suggest you experiment a bit with white colorant used with gel coat...manuf might also be a good source.
Toxic stuff but seems to bond very well if instructions adhered to (pun intended).
Best,
David
2011-10-13A shopper asked: will plexus bond polypropylene? Is it flexible or rigid?
2011-09-11A shopper asked: I am seeking to adhere a plastic mast track to a carbon fibre spar. Will the Plexus MA 310 product fit the bill? Any other worthy options out there?
Thanks in advance.

2012-08-12Mike Crawford: It may work.
If the mast track is plastic, there's a good chance that it's either high molecular weight or ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. They are both extremely tough and slippery.
The downside of this is that it's tough to get anything to stick to polyethylene, particularly because the surface tends to be embedded with waxy release agents.
For getting bottom paint to stick to Logic/triumph boats, which are made of PE, the trick is to use a low-temp propane plumbing blowtorch with a few light passes over the surface to flash off the waxy substances. The goal is *not* to heat the PE, or to turn it brown (too much heat); just to get rid of the surface contaminants.
I'd try it on a test surface first, say a few inches of mast track. You also might want to consider bonding to the bare carbon/expoxy, and not the paint/lacquer on top of it, because the glue and epoxy probably will have higher strength than the paint.
I'm personally going with Harken AA track on a new 36' carbon spar for a pearson ensign. I love the Tides Marine sail track, and have it on two boats with aluminum masts that have bolt rope channels, but I chickened out with the new mast and went with the "normal" approach.
It should work, though. I was just being conservative. Good luck.
Comments about Plexus MA 310 High Strength Plastic Adhesive:
This product is just the glue in tubes. You need to buy the pluger tool and nozzles seperately. Others sell this product wit a nozzle and plungers. I did not buythe nozzles. I squeezed equal amounts out of each tube and then mixed it with a stick and applied with a syringe. So you can get buy without it. The old product was more convenient.

Comments about Plexus MA 310 High Strength Plastic Adhesive:
Use it in difficult situations, especially bonding plastic/fiberglass to metal. Also very good for hull repairs. No real prep needed for site and works well even with moisture or oil contamination. Used it to repair 3 inch hole in hull of a Hunter composite sailboat along with fiberglass mesh. Easy to mix, sets relatively quickly but working time (approx 15 min) is adequate. Can be filed or sanded easily and can put boat back in water within the hour.
While it is not cheap, it is the adhesive of choice for the really difficult bonding tasks or repairs.

Nothing bonds plastic to metal like this adhesive. Cures quickly. The smell will knock you for a loop. Use a good charcoal filter mask and nitrile gloves. Don't get it on you.

This product is great in assembling plastic based RC sailboats such as the Soling One Meter from Victor products. There are many wood to styrene bonds in the construction of this model. This stuff bonds to styrene better than CA and West epoxy. A test of the product that I conducted can be seen at [@]
