Cleanstone glue testing video: I tried to break it. I gave up.

I tried to break it. I gave up. Turns out gluing plastic isn’t easy. Most adhesives don’t stick. Most plastics don’t bond. And recycled ones? Even harder. But Peter figured it out. Here’s the method we tested: Scuff the surface with 120 grit sandpaper Clean thoroughly with acetone Apply Permabond primer (for plastics) Let it dry Add standard off-the-shelf Loctite to both faces Hold together until it reacts (yep, it smokes a little) Apply extra glue to the corners for extra seal Then we stepped on it. Then I tried to snap it. Then I gave up. Even on the hardest-to-bond Cleanstone — it held. Here’s why this matters: Cleanstone is made from 100% recycled plastic. That means: No resin core No timber filler No surface layer to hide weak spots It’s one material — all the way through. Now that we’ve figured out a reliable bonding method, designers and makers can start creating: Larger panels Wrapped features Laminated finishes Sculptural applications And we’ll be updating the install manual so you can replicate it.
