| | | Re: ABS plastic repair question | Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 345 Likes: 9 enthusiast | OP enthusiast Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 345 Likes: 9 | My Q-bond arrived in the mail today. Monday is my next day off, will tackle the console then. Been looking at other plastic trim pieces inside that need attention as well. I'll find out if Uncle Fester is right. Been looking Q-bond up on the web. Like what I see. My buddy Pat who built vans for a living in the day says I should trash the plastic piece and if I just HAVE to have a console, build one from wood. I'm sticking to the plan and fixing the one I have. Wish me luck gang.

You won't need it as I have NO DOUBT you will be happy with it. I would add a few drops between the separated parts and press them together, then turn it over and do the powder fill in from behind. I am sure it will work good. Keep us posted.

I have so many people bring me stuff they tried to fix with JB weld I charge extra to clean it up before I can fix it with the right stuff. I do weld for a living for probably over forty years now and I get so pissed if someone brings me something with that junk in there... Basically like a John boats, to weld a few rivits that leak,intakes or blocks or exhaust manifolds ....God, the mear mention of JB WELD just set's me off...Sorry. Investigate and always use the right stuff , for metal ...weld it,,,, for plastic bond it with a comparable bonding agent. Never use JBWELD... EVER !!!

Have tried it a few times over the years for quick fixes and was always let down. Know a few that swear by the stuff...they can have it. Have the Q-bond that Uncle fester recommended. Will be fixing my panel and maybe try it on some other stuff today. Also may try it on my wife's car. The glass for her convertible top is coming loose at the bottom where the glass meets the material. | | | Re: ABS plastic repair question | Joined: Apr 2011 Posts: 2,182 veteran | veteran Joined: Apr 2011 Posts: 2,182 | i have used the 2 part epoxy that you can get at almost any parts house an works really good. gorilla glue is good stuff to. i to am not a fan of j.b. weld. | | | Re: ABS plastic repair question | Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 345 Likes: 9 enthusiast | OP enthusiast Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 345 Likes: 9 | did you mean use Gorilla glue for the convertible top glass? | | |
