Note: "D" means the substrate is difficult to bond. . . the natural waxy surface of these plastics makes gluing even with the recommended adhesives, somewhat less than perfect. The surface of these plastics must be roughed up to allow the adhesive the best possible "tooth" on the surface. Even so don't expect these materials to edge glue well. Some can be effectively hot air welded.
