Another one who doesn’t read posts properly. After B&Q, I wrote weekly shop.

Straight to the bottom of the class for you, young lady! :p

Some superglue and activator that actually works. Tradesmen use it, cheap,as chips compared to the stuff that the diy places sell.

SX trade products are fantastic, haven't found a bad one yet.

Give Gorilla Glue a go..
OK, takes time to go off, but it has not failed me once in any application I have used it on

Yup, I have used the resin based stuff that reacts with water and expands for a few jobs including sticking down loose paving slabs and it worked a treat. Even stuck massive cast iron manhole cover surrounds to plastic drainage chambers.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong! I've had very little success with it. I've followed the instructions but had more failures than successes.

The last time i used it was to stick a fairing tab on my nose cone. Only took a slight knock for it to fall off!

Sounds like the experience I have had with every superglue I have tried over the years - the only thing I have ever stuck is my fingers together!

Give the SX stuf a try...but make sure you get a tin of activator. Window fitters use this stuff for sticking upvc trim on...no idea how it will fare on Bird plastics though.

Same here. I've never found Gorilla glue to be reliable.

Thing with Gorilla glue is you need to make sure the surfaces are firmly clamped togeter otherwise it will expand & push the surfaces apart.
