I need some help with a bonding/glue issue please! I may have used the wrong glue, or it is possible there was an existing problem with one of the casts...
I attached a small cast to a larger piece using a clear glue (most likely either Gorilla superglue OR Loctite ultragel, BUT it is possible that I grabbed the other Gorilla glue which is not a cyanoacylate...
).
After several days the glue is not dry, but sticky, and still clear. I pulled the pieces apart easily, and the flat back of the small piece has partially softened!
This soft area would be the center area of top of cast as poured. The front of the larger cast remains dry and intact after wiping off a little sticky glue.
Both pieces seemed set & dry when I glued them. I think both pieces were poured at the same time from the same batch: Alumilite Amazing White with some inert fillers & a little pigment. The smaller piece would have been the "dregs" of the pour, so it is quite possible that there was some poorly mixed resin scraped from the cup.
What is the recommended glue type for Alumilite Amazing White urethane resin?
Should I use cyanoacrylate? Or is there a better choice?
Thanks!
