Picked up a small Plano storage box today, with adjustable dividers, to store drive tips, etc. The dividers are not secure in their slots, and ride up easily, allowing the stored items to mix. Is there *any* glue that might be useful in securing these? It’s a milky/clear plastic, and very slippery.

Few people understand it. Nobody agrees what it is, how to learn about it, or who's responsible for it. It has never been more important

Now THAT'S what I'm talking about. I was thinkin' about it all wrong.
Old Luthier tricks. I once welded up a new mandolin rosette from the swing out basket of a Mr. Coffee coffee maker. Old coffee stains made it look like Ivory.

Marine Grade Goop will glue almost anything to almost anything else ;o)
i saw at harbor freight that they have sticks of different type plastics,i think it was like 5.00.
that would be pretty handy when repairing some plastic stuff,like my impact driver that is trying out for the olmypic high dive next year.the older i get ,
the more people tick me off
I got a Makita drill that cracked right where the web of your thumb would be pinced. I tried welding it (melt) and every glue , epoxy I had on hand, nothing took hold.
I need to get a new half body, its too close to the trigger to get any more serious with repairs.Spheramid Enterprises Architectural Woodworks

Ever try these with plastic rods?
http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=41592I bought a Harbor freight multimax style tool last week for $39. Sure has come in handy. I have had to make some cuts around an awning that would have been impossible any other way. I also had to make an undercut on a window sill to receive the hardiplank.I have to think there are much better blades than the Harbor freight ones, but they do cut OK, and are cheap. I don't have anything to compare them to though, maybe hey are somewhat comparable to the better ones. I was going to buy some dremel blades, but they would have cost more than the whole saw kit did.
Not yet, I always get sidetracked in HF and forget what I went in for and wind up with a bunch of stuff I impulsed.
I did get the compressor last week when mine died, and a planisher and fitting s and slop brushes, and...well, you know..a bunch cheap 3 dollar expendable things that get swallowed up in the daily use at jobs and the shop.
Forgot to look for MM blades , I have a Fein and a Dremel, and made my own blades, but would like some spares.
For plastic welding, I usually just find some similar and cannabilize from that. HDPE and UHMW and all the mixes inbetween makes it fun..LOLSpheramid Enterprises Architectural Woodworks

nails or screws...
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming
WOW!!! What a Ride!
Forget the primal scream, just ROAR!!!
