It's an ancient website, although it's both a bit too specific and not specific enough.

An example of insufficient specificity: "rubber". Both silicone rubber and SBR are rubbers, but they behave very differently (and almost nothing bonds silicone). Another example: "plastic". Again, this spans both easily-glued materials such as ABS, and hard-to-glue commodity plastics such as HDPE or PP, where almost nothing sticks.

An example of excessive specificity: pretty much everything else. Low surface energy materials aside, gluing ceramic to plastic isn't hugely different from gluing metal to ABS. The real question for most gluing projects is whether the joint needs to be flexible, how much of a gap you need to fill, and how good it needs to look.

Well, I think the target population is the general population. And most people probably don't know what kind of plastic they are using, and wouldn't know that gluing metal to ABS is similar to gluing ceramic to plastic.

I certainly wouldn't have known that.
