SubscriberWhat is the best adhesive for bonding the rubber (siliconized?) of a gas mask to plastic?
I am doing a mask project and need to adhere part of a gas mask to one of those plastic (resin?) Airsoft skull masks ya see online all the time.
What is the best product for this? I wanted Master Bond\’s EP30FL, but they don\’t sell for private projects or retail. :/
Help!!

Hi Jinx,
Silicone rubbers are generally difficult to bond to and require either very specific adhesives or some amount of priming.
A cyanoacrylate based adhesive would meet the needs of this application with the addition of a primer made for silicone.
3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Instant Adhesive Primer AC79 should work as a primer and then an instant adhesive such as 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Plastic and Rubber Instant Adhesive PR100 should work to bond the substrates permanently.
