I have, lets say, a flat piece of wood, a Grant line plastic piece, and a metal piece. Using 5-15 second ACC, how would you assemple them so they would make a flat wall. I normally use a flat board with saran wrap or wax paper to prevent the pieces from sticking to the wood. Is this a workable method when using ACC?
If the pieces are the same thickness and you do not need a flat surface on the back, I think I would use a flat piece (3/4"to 1" wide) glued to the back. In my mind this would be stronger than just a butt joint. I think this would also reduce the danger of glue seeping through your seam.
Good luck,
My first question to you would be, “Why are you choosing to use ACC? Is that all that’s available? Are you certain that ACC is the best or proper adhesive for the job?”
In general, the type of adhesive used is based on the materials used and the job to be done!
I would also ask what you are trying to do. You have three different materials and for some unstated reason, they must be joined together to make a “flat wall.” does that necessarily mean that the face of the wall is flat across all three materials? Could the wall be straight but have some surface variation across its face? What are you trying to do? Give those of us who would try to help you solve your problem a leg to stand on here … how about a bit more information on the project and what the end goal is to be. We may come up with a better or easier way to do whatever you are trying to do! But we need some better information to give you the help you apparently need.
To p5se. The kit is a JL innovative designs #341 gas station. All 4 sides are windows almost floor to ceiling (the plastic casting). Under the window is a wood supporting wall about 2 scale feet high. On the right of these two pieces is a cast metal door with transom that is the same height as the window and its support. Since I wish to prepaint everything I chose the ACC as it will bond each of the three materials when painted.
Hope that clears it up.
