I have some rubbery-type children toys, little ones, ocean-themed. There are tentacles, claws and tails that would be great for Chaos. How would I bond these to a standard plastic model? I'm thinking to use a wire and 'pin' them into place, but what adhesive would bond these two things? Can it be made to work? |

Pin and then heat-weld together with a hot blade? (Weld marks can be covered with glue or epoxy before painting.) Might get a little stinky, though… |

Do not paint them with any sort of oil based solvent. The rubber will never recover and remain tacky. Some glues are going to do the same but hot glue does a good job. Aethelflaeda,

Pin and use the Baking Soda/cyanate glue mix to "weld" the joins. |

E6000. Agree that pinning will provide better mechanical bond. |

E6000 or Pliobond. E6000 is safer. Either one, use in a well ventilated area |

Michigan Toy Soldier sells a glue that they say works great on soft plastic minis……I can't vouch for it as I've never used it. |
