Extra Misc Information
The case we decided with, for its height and room was the Dewalt tough chest 38in 63 Gal. Mobile tool chest. So far the container has proven to be ample for this project. As cutting is hard, this box is made out of Polypropylene but definitely sturdy it also posed a situation that found trying to adhere anything to it just did not want to stick. I tried numerous different products even those that claim to work. Ha, even tried flex glue the first time and it just peeled off easily after it was cured. However, I finally tried one last product and it seems to be promising. It's holding and even when cured doesn't budge.
Amazing stuff but a bit pricey, however it works and that is a game changer. After using it inside and our of the component I wanted adhered to the case inside and out I retried Fles Glue and it seems to be adhering as well for a small back stop to help keep it stationary.
First, we used a cotton swab and dipped it into the primer and soaked the area we wanted to stick to the case and the other side as well. It dries very quickly and after a minute or so we were ready to add the glue which was a bit thicker than the others, not by much but the velocity was definitely thicker and applied sparingly on The one side and pressed really hard for 30 seconds. It stayed, but not really to test yet so I beaded a small bead if glue on the inside opposite from where I adhered to. It is definitely not thick enough to build upon but seemed to work. So, just to test this out -- it seems to work nicely so far I decided to administer a small bead of the flex glue on the inside. It held nicely.
After 24 hours it all seems to be doing a fine job. I don't think I would try banging it out of the case with a hammer but it is stationary with some push to it.
Since so many containers are made out of Polypropylene you may find this handy information.
