Hot stapler gun (plastic)

Projects

Hi all,

Is there a hot stapler gun currently in the space? Are there rules on the type of plastic it can be possibly used for?

I have an extremely simple project to carry out, trying to mend the handle of a food processor jug (this one: https://www.sos-parts.com/blender-bowl-bowl-mixer-blender-braun-7322010424-16890.html?srsltid=AfmBOooOXqQJDVuHWVWQMw0lCea_bfNZKx0kmzr4YPvjUQTgETF68dBu) but cannot get to the bottom of what plastic it is made of.

Any alternative suggestion on how to tackle this is welcome!

I would guess it’s polycarbonate.

Polycarbonate is unlikely due to its dubious food safety reputation. SAN (Styrene Acrylonitrile) is most likely. Polystyrene solvent cement might work, given the chemical similarity.

This actually worked quite well! Thank you @tomnewsom
