    Silicone compatibility: Activated superglue and Aquasure?

    Hi all!

    After a long, long pause I have a question (several, actually):
    • Has anyone experience with activated superglue (two-part special glue for plastic, comes with an activator and the actual glue to bond even Polypropylene and Polyethylene), local brand is Pattex, but I guess it is the same as Loctite (at least they have the same mother company, and I don't guess they'll develop the same chemistry twice), causing cure inhibition of silicone?
    • Does anyone have experience with Aquasure (some kind of Urethane glue, the safety datasheet made me fetch my respirator ) and how silicone reacts to it?

    Background: I am still doing my hybrid upgrade of my tail. Right now I dropped my snapped self-made monofin in favour of my small Mat-Mas and want to glue the drainage framework with either the superglue or the Aquasure to the PP blade to hold it in place until the silicone sets, but I am afraid of either of them causing curing issues ruining the whole thing.

    Thanks!

    I've never tried either but I would suggest doing a small test on some scrap material
