I was making pods for my mids. I used the strech technic but on some parts it did not bond well so i thought that i can just glue the stuff that did not bond that good so is there any kind of glue that will bond already harded fiberglass to plastic. Please help me out guys. Sorry for the spelling

if you know a little about fiberglass youll know that resin is the ultimate adhesive, ittl stick to anything. if you are wanting to hold somthing for a short period and you need a good bond, try mixing a small batch really hot. hot glue also works, but if the plastic isnt rigid enough you wont get a good bond, i had this problem while making pods for the side of my console.

Actually, fiberglass will not stick to anything. There are tons of things that is won't stick too. Any metal (such as aluminum) for instance. Glass won't stick to it either.

And there are some things that are better adhesives than fiberglass. For instance. Duramix 40/40 is a great adhesive designed to meld plastic pieces together.
