Hi,

I have a pair of headphones for a Sony CD player. They are the type of a
thin metal headband on either end of which there is a small grey plastic
earphone which fits, uncomfortably, into the ear. The bit that goes into
the
ear is set at about 90 degrees and is made of hard shiny grey plastic.

Anyhow, I broke one of these the other week and it has broken in a clean
cut
that allows me to fit th two broken bits back together nicely. However,
when
using ordinary super-glue to do this the super-glue just seems never to
set... I have put glue on both bits, held them together... and held... and
held... and held... and got bored... Obviously, I am using the wrong type
of
glue but have no idea what glue to buy and where?

Thanks for any advice,


John/



get some mitre fast from screwfix, this has a setting agent you spray on one
piece and special superglue you put on the other, after touching the two
bits together the superglue sets in ten seconds, makes ordinary superglue
look pathetic, I have used it on loads of things, doesn't go off in the
bottle too quickly either, so is quite practical to buy.


Polystyrene cement actually melts the plastic and makes a better joint.
Did you never build any airfix models when you were younger?

Having had the same problem as the OP, polystyrene cement is better than
superglue in this case
