Default Fender repair?

Anyone know what I can use to repair a split in fender on a prairie 360? Any kind of glue, epoxy, etc. that will stick? I would like to place a patch and glue underneath.

Oh yeah, does anyone know the exact type of plastic the fenders are made of? They seem to make glues for different types. Most all of the glues that I have found says they are not made for polypropylene. It would be my luck that the fenders are made of polypropylene.

I thought they were polyethylene, whatever the case I don't know of a glue that will make a chemical bond to the fenders.

Goop does an incredibly good job at making a physical bond. Rough up the backside of the repair with 24 grit. Use goop with spent drier sheets to keep the goop from running. Put a small amount of paint in goop to match your fender color. Get goop at Kmart, Home Depot, or most hardware stores.

There are fender repair kits available that bond by melting onto you fender. They might work even better.

Do not use hot melt, it will not last. Do not use epoxy, it won't stay.

Bondo and JB weld are way too brittle. Goop does an excellent job. I haven't tried the plastex stuff yet.
