  Does anyone know what will glue plastic to balsa wood ?

[Spooker]

Will the joint be structural?  If so, I think I would use epoxy, 2 part, 3 or 5 minute cure.   If not, super glue might work, but I would "prime" the balsa joint area with a coat of super glue so the final application doesn't just soak in.  Hope this helps!

I second Spooker's suggestion, two part epoxy is the best solution. I glue resin, aluminum, 3D printed stuff to styrene plastic all the time with it.
Hey John, I like your new saying at the bottom of your post.

  Thank you both for the information.  Need it for a future shop diorama, that I will be working on soon. 

Life is upside down for us right now as my wife is in the hospital, but she is doing well.

Also, thanks for approval of the quote.  It is not Scripture, but I thought it might be helpful to someone without being offensive.

  Spooker, I already have some balsa walls made up - 1/4" square core with thin balsa sheeting, painted white with brushed enamel.  Also a floor from 1/2 x 3/4 framework with Midwest 1/8 sheeting unpainted.  Total floor space is 16" x 24".

I am going to have to go to the hospital now, but will be back with you guys later.

  All is well on the home front now.

I was just wanting to know how to go about glueing some plastic shelves or cabinets to the balsa walls.  Thanks to all.
