Permanent Way Gluing 3D printed chairs to ply sleepers.

[OzzyO]

As the title says what is the best glue for sticking down 3D printed chairs to ply sleepers. For the plain track I'm using MEK (99.9% Butanone), but for the printed chairs I don't think that it will work. The printed chairs will be for the interesting chairs in the point work on the front of Lochmaben, two of the points will get a lot of use as these are the cross over, so we cannot afford the chairs to come loose.

I'd of thought a super glue would be the stuff to use but make sure the sleepers are stained first as they wont stain after being soaked in super glue !
Dave @S-Club-7 is the man to ask.

I use Super Glue (the runny stuff) - put a drop at either end of the chair and let capillary action take it down the grain. As Col says, the sleepers need staining first.

The sleepers are stained using a full fat stain not the stuff that's water based.
