Review on πŸ”§ Enhance Bonding Strength with 3M Scotch Weld 71600 Structural Adhesive by Byron Forman

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works and works well

I bought this adhesive to glue Tefzel plastic clips to a gearbox that runs at around 115 degrees Celsius. Tefzel is the chemical name for Teflon, so sticking Teflon to something hotter than boiling water is a hell of a job. This stuff works and you can get 10 pounds off the staples after it's stuck. There are only 2 downsides. Curing takes about 4-6 minutes even if the surface temperature is already 115Β°C. So for vertical surfaces you need to hold it mechanically while it cures. Another disadvantage is the cost. Sacred mackerel is expensive. For a one-time use, this made sense, but I wouldn't want to pay for it on a regular basis.

Pros
  • Medium viscosity allows for controlled dispensing
Cons
  • Damaged
