STREETSWEEPAZ Posted March 8, 2006 Report Posted March 8, 2006 The best stuff i use in my shop is a product by SEM ... It is a 2 part mixture called "Problem plastic repair material" ........ 1st you scuff up the backside real good with 40 grit or so sandpaper ( Something for the mix to really bite into ) , Then you use the fiberglass repair tape that will be pointed out to you in the store or you can use fiberglass joint tape that you use to do drywall seams(same stuff ) ......... After area has been scuffed around entire area - Dont be shy when doing so - Scuff alot of area surrounding crack to be safe ... At least 1'' to 2'' on each side of crack for the entire length of the crack as well... Next mix the 2 part mixture & lay a coat down over area & then lay repair tape over that ... Cover with a remaining mixture & let sit ( Dont be cheap with it & use enought to cover the tape & area well ) Let harden up in 10-20 minutes & that side is done .................... Topside : Optional !!!! Must finish with a paint to make it look good ... Use a dremel to dig out a small groove in the crack itself - Dont go too far down Add mixture & after it has cured ,,, Sand down smooth with a block & 320 grit Finish with some paint or cover witha decal .................... You should be good to go Quote

NickyPap Posted March 29, 2006 Report Posted March 29, 2006 Stitch it up, tape it up or whatever to hold it together and if you don't like how she looks smack a big HQ sticker across it. Quote
ClimbAnyHill Posted July 8, 2006 Report Posted July 8, 2006 I have a nice 6 inch crack on my rear plastics that I want to fix. I like the plastics and dont want to spend the money to get new ones so I was hoping that I could fix it. A product such as an epoxy or glue would be perfect... is there anything out there that works? Is there any reason a clear epoxy would not work? I did a search but the only advice I found was to either duct tape the underside or buy new plastics. Drilling a hole at the end of crack will keep that crack from spreading. How about superglue a piece of hard plastic on the backside. Quote
