How would you glue nylon to nylon? We were making 2 part nylon handles for a hand held probe, where one part fit inside the other. Couldn't get anything to work, tried super glue, epoxy, some special 3m glue I can't remember the name of that the machining shop recommended... None of it held up in the field.

Ended up drilling and pinning them.

I would try e6000. I've used it to glue nylon to steel and whatever's on the back of a mirror. It's pretty goopy; you probably need a groove/recess so it doesn't squish out.

The parts I've used it on were 3d printed, so they had a slight texture which probably helped.

I sand and score smooth surfaces before trying to glue them to give the glue more to grab on to.

shortest answer is you don’t glue nylon

long answer is go to the 3M/Bostick/Sika website and use their tools to find a solution that ends up only being sold in 50 gallon drums to specialized industries
