I am trying to make a bow thruster because I am a Yorkshire man and tight  {-)  but I am having trouble gluing plastic conduit to itself and also to plasticard.

Any help would be much appreciated   :-))

Use plumbers plastic pipe adhesive. :-))

Be careful, use too much and you will dissolve the plasticard.

Ah well Ian, I did say I was trying to make one, got as far as a paddle made and fitted to a brass bush in the bottom of a tube, I will take some pics but you will only see them if it works   :}

Hurry with the airboat as my sheet balsa is starting to warp   <:(
