What’s best glue for joining wood to PVC pipe?

[Simon Robinson 4Participant @simonrobinson4]

Hi

What glue would you recommend for joining wood to PVC pipe? Also what is the best primer to paint on the PVC so the paint does not scratch off?

Also can I use epoxy resin to smooth the join between the PVC pipe and wood?

Hi Simon,

I'm no expert, but here goes. Roughen the PVC pipe to get a key, and try some polyurethane glue. A little experimentation would be prudent. As for primer, my guess would be an etch primer. Epoxy will tend to find it's own level to some extent, so I'd be inclined to use a 2 part wood or car body filler, or maybe some form of caulk, depending on the intended purpose.

Gorilla Glue Clear seems to stick most things.

You want Devcon Plastic welder 2 part adhesive, this is an acrylite glue intended for plastics. It is also good on metal, wood, glassfiber etc. Hobby shops or Ebay for around £8 or £9.

I just use pinkgrip for everything

Simon, a little more info would (NPI) help. What are you trying to achieve, what wood, what shape PVC – rigid or plasticised, the type of bond, application?
