Fixing Plastics

[TSPP]

How would one go about repairing plastics that have broken. One is a ramp, near the entrance, the other just a standard plastic.

Thanx

The plastics have cracked/split off, i have the bits and need to stick them back together.

When i get a chance later i will try.

Interesting, she doesn't actually tell you what to use to glue it together with which is what i really am after. The backing idea is neat however.

[necroscope]

pretty sure she uses super glue and then uses the backing method  to hold it in place because the super glue will fail after a few ball impacts, thats the way i interperted the video

I heard differently, i thought she states that supaglue seems to haze things up and wants suggestions on a better adhesive

you'd have probably heard right i'm always hearing things wrong prob a weird form of dislexia

Dont use superglue it will turn the clear plastic into a lovely smokey white use clear araldite the two part glue or if its the ramp entrance sides i like to make up stainless brackets to cover the whole area if possible

how would athis 3m scotch weld strctural plastic adhesive work? seems a bit exxy in price though http://au.farnell.com/3m/dp-100-clear-1-7-fl-oz/adhesive-compound-epoxy/dp/1702758

i read the spec sheets that are linked to it and it says it can dry from anywhere between clear and yellow (depending on the batch) so if you do buy this do a test run with it first on some scrap plastic first.

the 2 part araldite then, and bracing would make a better job of it
