anybody who has a piece of broken plastic with which to deal on your car (or, i learned from continually getting off my motorcycles before they were stopped.) the best way to deal with plastic is to use baking soda and super thin super-glue. fill crack or chips with baking soda and apply glue. the preferred applicator here is a piece of tube filament. i get mine from a local hobby shop who makes their own super-glue but fly tie supply places have it. you can build up (in thin coats of baking soda) to 1/4" thick or more. i have made full loops with this method for the cowling of a motorcycle, dropped the bike again and the loop survived while the rest of the piece suffered severe trauma. one of the advantages to using this method... makes no difference what type of plastic it is. super glue does not discriminate.

QUOTE actually "the best" way IS NOT plastic weld but i appreciate your critique. i ve plastic welded, epoxied and super-glued. no comparison and you don t have to worry about what kind of plastic QUOTE i always wonder about critiques on various forums. i don t offer anything unless I VE DONE IT. i don t opine. i observe. i lived in socal for quite awhile. implied expertise is contagious down there. QUOTE ok ok. i was wrong and i ve never plastic welded, epoxied or even super glued. but in the future.... QUOTE b.s. is b.s. you could tell by .... find some words that make em sound like they know what they are talking about and post to see themselves post. You said it yourself.
