the table coming along soon... Doug with his fingers glued to his wire
wheel... :)

Polyethylene can be formed also. It can be made into toys, plastic snow
shovels, Jeep gas tanks, ropes and lots of stuff in fact. What you have is
not necessarily polypropylene. Good luck with the 3M epoxy anyway.

Well, I picked up some gorilla glue and cut some tin from a Guinness can
to act as backing/reinforcement. It's all glued up and curing. We will see
if it works.

If not, then it was fun.

Glued a few other fiddly bits together and boy does that

Think I'm gonna take it to work and glue a quarter to one
