Can I glue Coroplast together and is there any specific glue you recommend or would steer me away from using??

My dear Harris, o noble subject,
I think that Weld-On #16 clear thickened cement might be what is required.
(back me up, Gene of Golden, my Jester)
I fear that Gorilla Glue might be too brittle when dried and too messy when wet.
Sincerely....

Harris, I have used silicone in the past with good results. I guess it depends on how much stress will be on the pieces that are being glued up. Just glue and tape and ready in the morning.

hi harris
i take it corriplast is the same as correx over here?
if so, the best i have heard of is "corri-bind"
its a double sided tape. its thick and very sticky.. works like VHB tape but because of its thick gummy form, it allows the material to move/flex without it pulling away the adhesive from the board.

not sure if you can get this in the states, but can be bought by a large supplier over here called europoint displays.

A good double-sided tape, or GE 100% silicon adhesive.

. . . I've used "Max-Bond" (just like Liquid-nails) with good results . . .it' is a lil' messy but I get it in the caulkin' tube.

I have'nt thought about or worried if the material could 'contract & expand' or not, since I only use coro for temporary signage, and as far as I'm concerned the material is beginning to desinegrate when it's shipped to me . . .

Harris,
I would use a thin double-face tape. Are you just doubling the thickness or are you extending the length of the coro? If you are laying two pieces side by side you can use a strip of .040 aluminum as a backer where the two pieces come together.
Please let us know the reason you need to combine the pieces. Sometimes that will determine the procedure.
In many cases, a simple "carpet" tape will work.

As far as the Weldon 16 goes, Jill, I would steer away. It works on a chemical bond and would not bite into the coroplast as it would Plexi.
