Polymer Gluing?

[CWPinSC]

Does anyone know if the poly frame of a Springfield can be glued using something like Tenax?

TIA!

Pics please.

Pistol frames are made of a glass reinforced polymer that doesn't glue well.

Most solvent type glues either just don't work, or in the case of epoxies, it just peels right off.

I would definitely contact the manufacturer with this question.

Dfariswheel, that's what I thought. JohnKSA - good suggestion.

Call Springfield. In the mean time, share some pics and a good story.

Sorry, guys. No pics, no story. I'm just asking in reference to possible frame/grip modifications. Y'all wanna make something up, go ahead.

Sorry, guys. No pics, no story.

Aw man, I hoping for a good story.

For questions on polymer grip mods, I'd contact www.Bowietacticalconcepts.com and ask David. He did an amazing job modifying my Glock 19's grip.

Some custom gunsmiths do offer polymer frame welding.
This is used to add polymer to frames to allow altering the back strap, grip frame, adding a longer tang to the frame, or trigger guard.

This works something like metal welding only with plastic rod and a plastic welder kit system.
Many offer work on the Glock, but more and more are doing most any polymer frame guns.
