First thing I tried was clear silicon, but I still had trouble with the poly coming out of the lidsComment

Could you not silicon some wooden architrave in and around polycarbonate?Last edited by Currysniffa; 14-12-2010, 12:26 PM.Chris

Alradite? I think that bonds to metalComment

Wood beading, that would mean essentialy building a new frame.
Araldite, havn't tried that. Last time I used it, it took weeks to get the stuff off my hands, but i'll be more careful this timeComment

Yeah, my spelling isn't the best, that's the stuff
Edit: a fine sand paper may provide a better key for it on the metal side too mind.

loctite hysole e120hp, will bond it, but you will never get it apart, or go for a good industrial grade epoxy adhesive. and as chrismarks said sand it first.Comment
