E6000 Permium Contact Adhesive: experiences with it?
« on: 21 August 2025, 07:45:57 PM »
My interest is primarily in how well E6000 Premium works on LDPE/HDPE plastic figures...

So I watched this YouTube Video which discusses how to use E6000 Premium Contact Adhesive (glue) on BMC and Armies in Plastic figures. I am dangerously assuming that BMC and Armies in Plastic figures are made of either LDPE or HDPE plastic, and the E6000 Premium glue will stick to them.

Anyone on LEF have personal experience with using E6000 Premium on LDPE/HDPE figures? I jumped (hopefully not the shark -- "Duh, duh, DUH!!!") into it, ordering a tube of it off of Amazon, as I have never seen the red tube of it in local stores. If no one has tried it yet, I will report back. I have a few mod's I can use this on, and if it works, it would be amazing!… Cheers!

Haven't tried E6000 but the E9000 in a spray bottle is great for glueing tree foliage and not leaving a white, spotty residue like 3M Super 77 does.  I use it on commercially produced trees to improve the longevity of the foliage.  Afraid that doesn't help with your specific question but I am impressed with the E9000.

Actually, that is extremely helpful!  Thank you.   :D

I bought a great many miniature trees from Wish/China a few years ago.  They looked superb out of the packaging, but the foliage started falling off immediately.  They were inexpensive, but once their "leaves" started dropping, it kind of ruined them.  Keeping tree foliage on model tress is always a challenge.   :-[

I will order up some E9000 Spray Glue very soon!  Cheers!   8)
