Thread: What is the best GLUE?

Most of my MAN truck build is held together with Soudal T-Rex. $12 or so a tube and it even glues wet things together.

Here's a bit of info I put up on my blog about it (if it copies and pastes OK):

T-Rex Adhesive/Sealant


The adhesive/sealant I've used on all these jobs is something called T-Rex from a company called Soudal. It is fabulous. Has a high grip rating, so you can just push parts together and (within reason) it holds them immediately while you pfaff around.

It also works on wet things, and even under water! About the only thing I've found that it will not stick is HDPE.

It comes in black, white and grey and probably other colours as well, but they are the three most useful ones for building a truck.

In Adelaide you can get it from Fred Worthley and Sons out at Cavan. About $12 a tube from memory... but not 100% sure on that. Also, Soudal produce a 'high leverage' gun to use with this for $25. A standard caulking gun works but you have to squeeze really hard. The proper gun makes it a lot easier.





Here's a link to a YouTube video showing how it works:

Hmm - OK the pictures/YouTube vid did not copy. Look here for the original (down the bottom of the post): Info on Soudal Glue (at the bottom)

Tarzans grip comes in a few different types but sticks and holds well, just watch your fingers as it dries a lot quicker to skin

Recently out of hospital after an operation. Six incisions across the abdomen. No stitches used to close the holes, all glued shut.

So, I imagine your probably right about that particular hole too.

Highly commended:

I'm wondering if "stitching" is a thing of the past. I've recently had more operations on the head to remove skin cancers etc - skin grafts were all stapled in place. No stitches at all (and no glue that I'm aware of).

Stitching points are great places for infection etc. So avoided as much as possible.
