Re: Quick crisis ... & ultra-urgent ...

??? I probably wouldn't glue an iron with anything, assuming the glue melts a little during use... drip drop.

It was urgent, but here comes another answer:
Epoxy (i.e., 2-component adhesive) fixes plastic for the most part. However, not soft plastics.

Hello Yonna

You probably don't have polyethylene plastic in your iron.

Polyethylene can't withstand high temperatures +100 degrees.

You can certainly glue your iron with the glue you bought.

If the glue doesn't stick, you have a plastic consisting of either polyethylene or polypropylene, these are difficult to glue.

If you have a guy with a soldering iron, you can try melting the plastic together if it works if it is ETHENE or PROPENE plastic.

Try gluing first

Hope it works and yes I am a plastic technician

Do not use so-called "SUPER GLUE" (cyanoacrylate adhesive) as it only withstands temperatures up to 125 degrees before it evaporates.... (an iron is hotter than that, right?) ???
