As a multi-purpose adhesive, Liquid Nails bonds plastic to other materials such as wood and metal. However, the plastic must be rigid and not porous.

Epoxy is considered one of the best ways to glue plastic to wood. Epoxies are made up of two compounds that when combined harden into a resinous plastic. In doing so, epoxy also creates a strong bond that is effective with most types of plastics.
From the manufacturer. Liquid Nails LN207-2.5 oz Clear Silicone Adhesive for Small Projects works best on plastic, metal, and foam surfaces. Comes with precision applicator and resealable cap.
Liquid Nails offers so many versions that there is one for almost every type of material, such as wood, leather, foam, metal, ceramic or glass.
Liquid nails Fuze*It All Surface is a construction adhesive that bonds everything to everything (except polyethylene and polypropylene) and even sticks in all weather. Hot, cold, wet or dry, Fuze*It All Surface provides a durable, flexible bond that’s twice as strong as fasteners alone.
Gorilla 2 part epoxy for plastic is useful for filling gaps, repairing exterior trim or bonding plastic, wood, metal, ceramic, brick, stone, concrete, glass and foam. It comes in the form of a dual syringe that uses a combined plunger to force the resin and hardener out through the same point.
General Epoxy Formulas: Most general epoxy products will typically bond to both wood and PVC and should work fairly well.
Liquid Nails HD could withstand 441lb while Gorilla Glue Construction Adhesive held 846lb. Based on these results, we can deduce that Gorilla Glue bindings are better than Liquid Nails Heavy Duty. However, Liquid Nails Fuze performs better than both.
This means that these products are excellent for bonding porous or non-porous surfaces whether you are working with wood, metal, glass, marble, rubber, brick, plaster and much more.< /b>p>
Non-porous surfaces – such as plastics, metals, and painted surfaces – can delay the drying or curing time of construction adhesive and joint compound from 24 hours to several days or even weeks! It is recommended that at least one of the adhesive surfaces is porous if possible.
Like we’ve said before, liquid nails are formulated for build-up. Therefore it naturally has stronger binding properties than wood glue. As long as you follow the application instructions carefully, especially the drying time, you will get unbeatable bonding results.
The quick answer: Wood glue is best used to glue two tightly fitting pieces of wood together. Liquid nails are better for other materials or for securing wood when the joint between pieces is loose or has gaps.
The next strongest adhesive, Liquid Nail’s Fuze It All Surface, held 100 pounds on the wood and 64 pounds on the PVC.
Liquid Nails take about 15 minutes to stick but take an average of 7 days to fully cure. Be sure to consider the type of materials being bonded, avoid exposing them to heat and moisture, and you’ll have a rock-solid bond in no time.
While most Liquid Nails products take 24 hours to dry, some cure in just 4 to 6 hours while a handful of products take up to 48 hours to dry. Some types are designed to dry and harden quickly.
According to the manufacturer: “Gorilla Glue works well on many types of plastic; However, we do not recommend its use on polypropylene (PP) or polyethylene (PE) plastics or rubbers with high oil or plasticizer content.”
If you plan to use a raw wood veneer, you may not find an adhesive specifically designed to bond to plexiglass, glass, or plastic. It is best to use a good type of epoxy. You have to sand the surface hard to give the adhesive enough “bite”.
The strongest adhesive that can be used on plastic is usually a two-part epoxy, like JB Weld PlasticWeld in a syringe. It adheres very quickly and strongly to most types of plastic, allowing you to make a fast and strong bond.
For epoxy or plastic resin based adhesives, users should avoid contact with their skin, so squirt bottles and brushes are best. The resulting connections must be permanent as MDF can be very heavy. Most PVA wood glues, plastic resins, and epoxy resins work great for gluing MDF to MDF, or even MDF to wood.
