Bonding Soft Plastic Figurines et Accessories

Converting soft plastic figurines made of Polyethylene (PE) ou Polypropylene (PP) can be difficult, because there is no reliable adhesive for these types of plastic. PE et PP plastics have a particularly smoothe et wax-like surface which does not moisten well. Paint ou glue does not stick, because the glue molecules cannot form a surface bond avec the plastic molecules. There are complicated et expensive industrial processes which will bond Polyethylen und Polypropylen plastics, using the corona process ou low temperature plasma. However, these bonding processes are too expensive to be used for military modelling purposes.
