Yeah, I've used a type of clear liquid for plexi that chemically bonds it together.

If that doesn't hold up, why not super glue? It's very thin, so it won't alter the dimensions of your measuring device.

What were you using the big one on?

Plastic weld should do exactly what it's called.

x2, harbor freight has the little plastic welders (soldering irons with special tips pretty much) and I know they work pretty well.

That's if the jb doesn't work out

2 part epoxy is holding on pretty **** strong.. put some force on it and no slippage //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Should have used Plastiweld or Bondene. They are made specifically for plastic.

Super glue is CA and CA dries hard.

Yeah had the same problem a full sheet of 3/4 mdf fell on my router and broke my bigger jig in half, I was just going to buy a new one though.

what an idiot!

why dont you try some CA glue with the accelerator?

X2 but without the accelerator.

Not trying to be an *** but ,I would buy a new one. I doubt it will ever be the same no matter what you use to put it back together.

thats what I said buy I got laughed at.

the measurements didnt change, its fits back together like a puzzle and in some parts you cant even see the crack.

I pulled on both halfs and put pressure on the jig bending it in half a little, no sign of stress on the joint so as long as it holds im good to go.

perma epoxy 2 part is pretty awesome.. just make sure to read and follow instructions to the T.

we fixed a driveshaft out mudding one weekend with that stuff... we got stuck out too far for a tow truck, and too deep for anythign 2WD to make it out.

took some perma epoxy, and clapped on some lengths of cut flat steel around the length of the break, epoxied it all.. and BOOM... rode out and back to the trailer
