will this work for metal minatures?

Well, I'm not an expert on metal objects James, but I do work with a product called Photo -etch metal in model building. When applying these small , thin, metal parts to styrene plastic, they recommend some kind of SUPER GLUE. There are many kinds of super glues out there, but the kind I use is through a website called Flex-i-Flile. The applicator is called a touch and flow. It is like a little tiny syringe that you fill with the glue and just touch it to the joint you are gluing together, and it flows into it by capillary action. My suggestion to you is to ask around your local hobby shop, and tell them what it is your trying to do, and see what they recommend. ......I hope this was helpful!

Are you drunk? Of course not! Metal is not plastic (last time I checked). Superglue is your only real option here. Unless you want to try soldering them. Or recasting them altogether (if they are lead). Seriously: cyanoacrylic or nothing for you, sir.

No. It's designed for styrene plastic welding. You could maybe get the pieces to stick together for a short time, but there would be no strength at all.

I would not think so you would need a two part epoxy like JB WELD that is what mechanics use mix the two together evenly and apply with a toothpick if it is a small object add epoxy on both ends of broken pieces practice on something first then you will know just how to make your repair.

James: this cement is a solvent, and as such, works by "softening" or dissolving polymer (sic plastic) surfaces so that they may "meld" together and remain bonded when the solvent (thin cement) dries. I can NOT see how this would work with any form of metal or even paper! Cyanoacrylate (CA) cements that come in at least three thicknesses work perfectly for metal parts like photo-etch (brass or stainless steel) so, in my humble opinion, I would to with a CA! Hope that helps a teeny bit!

Lauren. It would work well on silver and gold. I am not sure on the other three metals but people polish rocks with them so I don't see why not.

No, regretfully as good as it is for Wood, paper or fabric, this won't work for metal. In that case I would suggest a cyanoacrylate kind adhesive.

Honestly don't know from experience. It depends on the base metal, if it has nickel in it should work okay. Is it rusty or not- if not that should be an indicator if the base metal contains nickel

I don't know. It is for metals and I suspect you could contact the company and ask.

I would think so but I haven't tried it. Make sure you get the heavier metal stickon. It holds really well.

I don't know, but I would think so. It sticks metal to metal so I assume it would hold just about anything.

I don't see why not. In my previous office it worked on metal and glass. I suppose you'd just have to drill pilot holes for the screws. Since the device is mechanical it is easy to install.

Yes... although i havent tried... it is metal and a magnet should stick to it!

It should work just fine, as long as any rust hasn't caused pitting in the metal. But, for discoloration, it should work great.

Because it is metal and absolutely flat, I can't see why it wouldn't. My pieces are steel over copper. Perhaps if you have one with aluminum, it might not.

You might be able to use screws designed for metal. It's difficult to answer with seeing the piece though.

Yes this would be an excellent choice for that. I use mine for metal detecting and it picks up all coins and even foil. Good product good price.

Idk my guess is yes, i used this on my plastics on my motorcycle to add metal screens in the openings of the plastics and those things arnt goin anywhere haha very strong hold.

The drill has the power enough to work on metal as long as its not too thick/hard. The trick is using the right drill bit (for metal). Hope this help.

It should...I don't buy this for jewelry, I buy it to clean my crystal chandelier, and I am not sure what metal that is!

It will work on thin metal as in jewelry making. Not sure the thickness of the metal blanks you want to drill. DBAR Supply
