CA glue alternatives...

Like the title says, what are some alternatives to CA glue for re-gluing a dust cap????

I've heard loctite 410 but thats it. I bought some "Duco Plastic Model Cement" and some "J-B Mini Clear Epoxy Syringe" at a local hardware shop and wondered if either of them would work??

Thanks..

5 min marine epoxy works for most extreme SPL competitors who build such high pressures that caps expoding is a problem

I would but there are not any local. Its like 1-1:30 drive to the nearest one, if its even still there. I think I'm going to go ahead and try the Epoxy. Supa_C said that it would work fine. Plus the Epoxy stuff only cost like $3

So be on the lookout for DP pics and vidz!!!!!!!

I usually use Goop on the dustcap and CA glue for everything else.

Epoxy, only if it is NOT a plastic dust cap.

If it is a paper blend, epoxy is good.

If it is plastic, CA with goop.

goop is a rubbery glue

you can get it at skate shops (skaters use it on their shoes when they get tore up)
