HI , i would like to know what is the strongest glue for all the Z materials .

Please let me know .

Thanks 

#2

For Z-ABS I always use acetone mixed with some pieces of Z-ABS filament.

It is cheap and it never disappoints me.

I just got this thing called GOOP. It seems to do great and dries clear.  I used it on a sheet of acrylic and it worked awesome! I couldn't break the piece off that I glued.

Hardware stores and online retailers in the US sell a glue for ABS pipe that works just fine.  The stuff I use has a whitish color and seems to dry nearly clear.

All depends on what you are doing with it. If you use acetone and brush it on the parts that are being connected it will soften up the ABS and when you press and hold it together it will fuse and make a strong bond. 

Sometimes it calls for ABS and acetone mix while others calls for different welding agent. 

ZHips or ZGlass won't weld with acetone but I have made strong bonds with ABS slurry and ZGlass.

I got the GOOP to help fill the gaps that happens sometimes when joining two pieces. 

Cheers and good luck
