The probable reason for your problem is the ultraviolet (UV) transparency of the plastic and the fact that epoxy bonds are not very UV resistant. Even epoxy coatings are not recommended for outdoor applications because they discolor under UV.

Ask Dr. Dave

Should I use a cyanoacrylate superglue for household repairs and assembly projects?

Both of these types of adhesives have the advantage of not containing solvents and being single component, so no measuring or mixing is involved. In addition, they both use moisture to initiate the curing.

Ask Dr. Dave

What packaging materials do you recommend for moisture-sensitive reactive adhesives and sealants?

Packages are chosen based on performance and cost. Specialty materials like anaerobic adhesives need oxygen to maintain their stability and shelf life. These materials were traditionally packaged in low-density polyethylene tubes or bottles to allow air diffusion into the package.

Ask Dr. Dave

How do I select the right adhesive or sealant to bond and seal industrial components?
