[Lab] gluing plastics

[Paul & Andrea Mumby]

Looks like it's PET plastic from the thread. You can bond PET fairly well
with CA glue if you get a good mating surface.

Also Acetones and Ketones will dissolve PET to varying degrees. So a nice
high concentration Acetone should allow you to solvent weld pieces of PET
together.
