I am trying to build a raft out of empty bottles of pop (the big ones).
I don't live far from a river; I live near a waterfall too Laughing

I don't think of this a a reliable mode of transportation but I'm sure I can find someone stupid enough to go off the waterfall.

Any suggestions on the type of adhesive I should use? I was just thinking duct tape.


I'm so bananas I'm showing up to your open casket,
to fill it up with explosive gases,
and close it back,
with a lit match in it,
while I sit back, and just hope it catches.

Blow you to fragments,
laugh,
roll you, and smoke the ashes.

Deco Cement, if you can repair a cessna wing with it, you can use it for a raft
Other then that Plastic Weld or a Good Epoxy
There is an epoxy, I forget what, that can seal and fix pvc pipes, I know I used it at my last place, a townhouse I was renting, worked like a charm
Also glued my buddy's mirror back on the his passenger side of his grand prix before he traded it in

Be careful of stronger adhesives, as they may melt the relatively thin soda containers.

I'd use PVC pipe to build it. That or empty oil drums work good for rafts.

I think that the plastic weld would work fairly well if used sparingly, but yes be careful. Have you considered using plastic gallon jugs, those work well, I have seen that done before.
