What glues slash epoxy do you use for pvc board starboard and kusa boards
0:21
So those are completely different products And I mean we just did a video about
0:27
starboard acrylic and Pvc board which are all basically a plastic acrylic is, you know
0:35
The most dense starboard is hdpe or high density polyethylene board And pvc is that polymer chloride or polychloride, whatever it is polyvinyl chloride
0:48
pvc board So as far as glues and epoxy kusa kusa throw kusa out because kusa is different kusa board is a
0:58
Building material so it is a coring material that accepts resin or epoxy
1:05
It's used to with fiberglass. It is a coring board that you lay fiberglass on to create
1:12
You know a fiberglass structure So kusa is made to accept, you know, epoxy resin or polyester resin. It's a fiberglass product
1:22
I would not include that in with Starboard pvc or acrylic as far as the
1:29
Epoxy or the acrylic goes pretty much. Nothing sticks to acrylic you basically
1:36
There is I'm, not 100 sure on what it is. It is a
1:42
I forget what they call it that you pour on the the acrylic
1:49
It might be poly weld, but there's something else. There's like a like a
1:55
I can't think of what it is. There is a specific I think weld on is the company that makes it it's a
2:03
solution where you put the two pieces of acrylic together and you can pour that stuff in there and it
2:09
Basically, I guess the best way to say is that it melts the two pieces
2:14
So if you scratch this side of the acrylic and you scratch and you don't scratch the other side when you pour that
2:20
Solution in there it basically melts the two together and that scratched surface it like
2:26
It bonds them together. Basically I can't think on top of my head what that is
2:31
But acrylic that's like the only thing to do with acrylic other than that. Nothing really sticks to it
2:37
Elastomeric is the best thing so using an elastomeric product, but 4200 5200 life seal boat light none of that stuff
2:45
Silicone Realistically in my opinion silicone really shouldn't even be using on a boat. I don't really like using silicone. I like using boat life
2:53
3m 4200 5200 4000 fast cure or not fast here, but hardware whatever it is
3:02
Uh total boat elastomeric That kind of stuff I use those products. I don't really like silicone
3:08
silicone's a different type of product but Starboard same thing elastomeric is going to be the best thing to stick to it, but you can use
3:19
Jb weld plastic weld or you can use tap poly weld Those are going to be the two things if you want to stick two pieces of starboard together that hdpe
3:30
You those are basically the only two products that I could think of off the top of my head that
3:34
Work and that will glue those two pieces together The other option is going to be a plastic welder which takes you know, it's like a it's basically you take a
3:45
plastic and it melts plastic and you know, it's it's a well it's basically a welder you weld it you can run a bead of
3:52
plastic and That will stick starboard together plastic Well, that's how you would fix, you know triumphs or ropeline or propylene whatever that you know
4:02
Those boats are made out of the plastic boats That's what you would use to fix those
4:07
And then when it comes to the pvc board the pvc board, it's pvc you could use pvc cement
4:14
You could use tap weld poly weld any of that stuff's going to work to stick the stuff together
4:20
