So when we last left our bench multimeter, its handle was in a disappointing two pieces.
I had tried using super glue, and that didn't really work at all. Then I realized something.
One of the best ways to glue PVC is to do solvent welding with a slurry of solvent and dissolved PVC. And this just happens to be available off-the-shelf, in the plumbing aisle.
ABS cement is a mix of MEK, ABS resin and acetone, plus natural and artificial flavours and colours.
So let's give it a try.
Not exactly colour matched, but if it works it works, right? Just need to let it set up overnight and then flex it gently onto the bench meter.
Oh well, it was worth a try. It held up better than I expected, but it wasn't quite enough.
