When the glue hardens, use screws designed for assembling plastic parts. These are flat head screws that have a very coarse, sharp thread, designed to cut their own threads in the plastic. | |

| Oct 4, 2021 at 8:42 | comment | added | N. Virgo | Those screw rivets look like a great solution to me. The trick will be finding ones of the right size that can be bought in large-ish numbers at a reasonable price, as I'll need somewhere around 130 of them. I found some randomly on Amazon that might fit the bill, but they're 6mm rather than 5. | |
