Gluing fairings?

[MG#43]

Hi,

I've got some cracks in my seat unit. I'm hoping gluing them together will sort it, though i'm not sure what glue to use and where to get it from, anyone any ideas?? thanks!

Use Plastech which I should have back in stock on Wednesday.

Depends how big the cracks are but superglue has never failed me. Get it from your local post office, if they don't have it Wilkinson will.

Yeah i use superglue but a good tip for a bit of extra strength is to straighten out some staples and place them along the crack like stitches.
Works for me anyhow.

Hi,
cheap bodge is epoxy resin, from pound shop, or super glue GEL.
but better off using plastech, works well & lasts for ages.
cheers,
GAZ

If you want it done properly, the plastics can actually be "welded" from behind, although this is normally done in conjunction with a respray.

I agree with plastic welding (Done by a professional)
Superglue never worked when i tried it, mainly because its got no flex in it, and cracks really easy.

Araldite is the normal solution as far as I know.

It resists shocks, is far stronger than superglue (and nowhere near as brittle), and easier then plastic welding.

From my experience welding is potentially unreliable, just use araldite... Get it on ebay, araldite rapid specifically, comes in a dual syriinge thing nowadays.

The proper plastic-weld is better but if you have to use superglue get the stuff they sell in double-glazing shops. It's slow setting and much stronger than ordinary stuff.

with my long experiency i can tell you nothing will stick on plastic except plastech . even if that hurts my purse nothing can beat this
look at wemoto site and type plastech

obviously fiberglass will stick but how long ?
using this powder & liquid makes the repair undestructable and it's the only way to repair the logs

A couple of pictures of old repairs using Plastech.

Keep in mind these repairs are over 4 years old and still holding well.
