zip ties

 

i used abs on mine it worked good and they are still holding

 

sick... bout to go give it a shot... any tips?

 

hahah what stunter dosent know about zip ties lol

 

well when i wrecked i used some glue type stuff they called plastic weld... that stuff is strong... and you mix it like jb weld but its clear....... i used it for my guage bracket and it holds good..... i got it at aces true hardware store here in NM.......

 

you can try clear liquid nails if it isnt too major AND it makes a fabulous grip glue( yeah, that good)

 

Would like to know too. I wanna start plastic welding some stuff though. Fiber glass resin with mat fiber glass works great.

 

Got for one for ya!The best thing is to tape the prts from the exterior sides to make the best joint as possible.Then you grind the back side to remove the paint and other debris,wash it from oil and grease.After this you are ready to weld it with an iron.No plastic material other then the one you are welding is needed,that's unlees you left a piece somewhere.In that case take used piece of fairing to fill a whole.I've made quiet a few welds and havn't broken one yet.The real important detail is how you weld it and at what temprerature you do it.They sell special welding irons for about 135$ or you can use the one you got but the thing is it shouldnt get to hot oer else the part will be crooked.Drive the iron slowly in the crack until your about half depht.The drive it in overlaping the fisrt pass.Do this four or five time.The bead you vreated is now warm.bring back the plastic from both sides of the weld to the middle.Do the other side and it's ready to fix and paint.Cheap fast and ready to take another shot!!!!

 

use zip tie cut off pieces as the weld filler
