"J" <nospamplease> hath wroth:
I have a coax laptop power jack that I was able to solder and glue back
together with krazy glue. It broke again. What's the best kind of glue for
the black plastic that these components are made from? Since krazy glue
failed me, I bought some radioshack 'all purpose ashesive'...
I've had good luck with cyanoacrylate adhesive and epoxy. The black
plastic is ABS which should work with just about any adhesive. If
cracked on the sides (as usual), I sometimes sandwitch a thin
fiberglass or plastic reinforcing patch to straddle the crack.
However, methink replacing the jack is best, especially if it's
severely mangled:
