- I am making a model, and I would like to use the plastic from the
- common U.S. 2-liter soft drink bottles. I chose this plastic because
- it is so freely available. The label identifies the plastic as "PETE".
-
- Can anyone tell me what this plastic is, and what a good glue for it
- would be? Typical model cement for polystyrene plastic doesn't stick
- to it and just peels off. Other glues I've tried, including epoxy, do
- mostly the same. Any suggestions? Thanks.
