[quote=svelte]What’s wrong with just using JB Weld?
When my son was in college and worked in a music hall setting up equipment for musicians, he said they used JB Weld all the time.
I didn’t know about it until I was putting together a Cozy Coupe child’s car and the parts were severely deformed. Instead of taking it back to the store, he whipped out some JB Weld and glued the top to the body. It held up all the years of use after that.[/quote]
Jb weld actually doesn’t work that well. I don’t think it causes a chemical reaction to bond with the plastic pieces. same with epoxy. Both of these get most of the strength from the glue itself, as it hardens. I think like a arm cast. Super glue actually reacts to plastic and the baking soda makes an excellent filler and excellerant. The only other thing I would trust is using a plastic welder, which basically melts the plastic with more melted plastic. but that’s usually only works well with large areas like a broken / cracked bumper. trying to use my plastic welder on a small piece usually ends up melting and destroying the small piece.
