Group: Forum Members Posts: 460, Visits: 5.2K	Hi all Ive replaced a thin carbon visor bracket from my momo helmet, they are originally held in place with 5 rivets but I cannot use normal pop rivets to replace them. I'm looking at the different adhesives in stock like the ET515 or VM100 for the application. Which would you recommend for bonding the thin carbon hinge to a plastic and leather substrate? Thanks

To determine which adhesive is best depends entirely what the substrate plastic is composed of. Both our ET515 Rigid 15min Epoxy Adhesive and VM100 Black 10min Methacrylate Adhesive are very good adhesives for a range of plastics. However, some very inert plastics such as polypropylene and HDPE can be very hard to bond to. For an item subject to potential impact, our ET515 would offer a better flexural strength than the VM100 for many applications.
