Repairing plastic

Dose anyone have any good suggestions on how to repair cracked/cracking plastic? Bought my kids a Scrambler 90 and it went into the shop (Chaparral in San Bernardino, CA.) for repairs and the fools could have cared less about cracking the plastic. They way over tightened down almost everything! I’m very angry
about it and thought about writing letters to them but have just decided not to. There was nothing good about my experience with Chaparral (in San Bernardino) and just decided to leave it as a lesson learned.

I’m looking to hear from anyone that has successfully repaired plastic. Is there any product that will bond plastic to plastic? If I could glue/bond another piece of plastic to the cracked mounts, I could drill another hole for the bolt/fastener to mount to the frame.

Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

 

If you have a spreading crack, in plastic, try drilling a small hole, at the end of the crack, that will stop it from getting worse.
Ive used fiberglass matting and two part epoxy, any hobby store has some, its stong and grips good, but is kind of ugly, so i put it on, on the underside.

 

ducked tap. j/k use some apoxy between the crack then when that drys put some on the under side like honda buster said

 

Zip ties!!!! Man's best friend. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

drill small holes on both sides of the craks and zip tie the crack together like stiches.

this stuff looks awsome!! Has anyone tried it? how far does a kit go. $10 for a small kit looks like a deal when you compare the cost of new plastic. It looks like you could go into plastic repair business for about $100.
Eiger2 out.

 

plastic welding

 

trxoutlawz, I've been seeing a plastic welding set on Harborfrieght.com for $30. It says it welds all kinds of ABS. Is quad plastic ABS?
I checked out your page, looks like some fun but I've never seen a Mercedes at a trail ride around here.

 

i just cut pieces of tin, drill holes in the plastic and the tin, and rivit them together,this works the best!after i do this i usually put fiberglass on over the tin "underneath the fender"
