Works great on PLA printed parts.

Holy cow! This stuff is incredible. I've been CA glue (super glue) on 3d printed stuff with moderate success, but since trying this, I'll never go back. I've used it on PLA, PETG and ABS with great success. Like others have mentioned, it can be a bit of a learning process to manage its consistency. Try it on something you don't care about first. But once you are familiar with its properties, it's phenomenal. I've glued together parts, cracked prints, plus non-3d printed things, like a friend's broken pot lid handle. Clamping for 24 hours is my go-to, though I'm not sure that length of time is necessary. However, it seems to be working out great, so I'll stick with it. I made a reusable straw holder for my dishwasher that cracked along print lines when I pulled it off the printer bed. I glued along the crack, clamped it, and it's been working like a champ in the dishwasher, even with extra-hot washes and heated drying cycles. 10/10 will be buying this again when I run out...though it seems like one tube is going to last for years.

This product was exactly as described and arrived in fine condition.

This is hands down the best for 3D printing because it chemically bonds your projects together. The plastic breaks before the joint does. The only issue is that it is an absolute mess to work with. The tube is metallic so when squeeze it retains that pressure on the glue and squirts everywhere when you open it.

Incredible bonds for acrylic with small gaps. Comes out fast so use a syringe and needle/applicator for small jobs.

Works great, just wish it was sold in smaller quantities so I could save some money

The only reason I’m giving this Acrylic Plastic Cement one star is because I want to be very honest this stuff is extremely strong in that regard. However, there are several things I really don’t like about it.First, it’s way too runny. As soon as you open the bottle, it spills out on its own. The glue dries incredibly fast, so you have almost no working time. If you don’t keep the cap tightly closed at all times, the tip and the inside of the nozzle dry up, and you constantly have to unclog it. I personally use a nail to reopen the hole and allow the glue to come out again.Another thing I dislike is that when applying it, it creates these spider web-like threads that get everywhere and stick to surfaces you don’t want glue on. It ends up being a big mess.I wish it was more controllable, more like a gel rather than so liquidy, and that it would start curing after at least 30 minutes like other glues so you actually have time to work with it properly.That said, I would buy it again because of how strong it is. The bonding power is really impressive.
