Title: adhesive
Post by: inksoup on June 01, 2018, 08:12:20 AM
here i will explain some experiment that i have done recently about glue.

ingredients:
a lot of styrofoam
acetone (95%)
cup and stricks.

pour a little amount of acetone into a cup and start adding styrofoams pieces into it.
styrofoams will start to dissolve.
do this until the mixture becomes like a honey viscosity.
then apply it to the surface to glue and compress it. when acetone evaporated (which is very quick) totally you are done. i am not sure if you can keep it in some airtight bottle. i just made it and used it.

this is very very strong glue that you can use in some parts.
i have successfully glued,
woods, glasses, plastics, 3d printed materials, papers...


best.

Poor Man's Napalm is Tide soap flakes and Gasoline in a Coke bottle with a rag to ignite it.  Tide has the highest percentage of Naptha in it or at least that's what we were told in Improvised Munitions class...
