Sum o' them yung folks tawlk faster 'n mah ears kin lissun.

Anyway, I've used various glues mixed with fibrous fillers and metallic fillers with good results.

Checking the package price of $13.99 on Amazon, I think it would be worth the cost to try it.

 

im convinced

 

Looks pretty neat. Fast too.

 

I've seen this glue being sold at the Auto Fair at Charlotte Motor Speedway, but under a different name. The demonstration the seller did seemed pretty impressive. I didn't buy any because he was selling just the bottle of glue for $20. Seemed expensive to me. I see Summit is selling the whole kit for less than $20. I think I might get some. BTW, the seller mentioned to keep the glue in the refrigerator to help extend the shelf life.

 

I happen to sell quite a bit at work and get a very high amount of repeat sales. Very popular among the Body Shop's here.

 

Looks real handy. I wonder if Lowe's sells it.

I don't know what exact mix of plastics you need to repair, but, whenever I have a plastic failure on one of my motorcycles, I use a very common cement.

MOST, not all plastics parts on Japanese motorcycles are ABS plastic, injection molded, such as side covers, tail sections, fenders, fairings, etc. After trying all sorts of cements, and even fiberglass on these covers, with noting but failures, I got the idea to use ABS cement, after repairing a drain system on my sister's mobile home. It uses a black ABS pipe situation for the drain system.

I had a fairing from a Kawasaki that had a fairly long crack/separation in it. and knew I wanted to paint it after repair. I basically roughed up the back side of the plastic, and added a line of ABS cement into a slight groove I made along the crack. Then, I added a layer of fiberglass woven cloth onto the ABS, getting the cloth fully soaked into the cement. Then, another layer if cement, another layer of cloth at a 45 degree angle to the first sheet, to overlap the weave lines, then, last layer of cement.

After drying, the repair was one heck of a lot stronger than the rest of the fairing. It has lived on a track day race bike for the last 4 years, along with more repair when it cracked in other places on the part, and those new cracks were repaired in the same manner.

Just an idea that might help with repair of ABS plastic parts for others to consider.

 

Have used the Q-bond and yes it does work quite well.

 

Didn't work worth a crap for a friend of mine.

 

What did you use it on ???

 

Been using http://www.marinetex.com/ ,might have a look at the Q-bond.

 

I have also used the two marine use repair products, "MarineTex" and "Dov-It". They both work well when the surfaces are prepped correctly, and the products are allowed to properly cure. This goes for my ABS cement and fiberglass cloth method as well, any repair is only as good as the preparation for it.

Hy-poxy Alumbond aluminum filled epoxy putty or JB Weld???

Any experience with Hy-poxy Alumbond aluminum filled epoxy putty (2 equal parts). Their H-450 is $18.02 for 6.5 oz and H-400 is 6.32 for 2 oz. At Amazon.

I'm filling spoke holes in double wall aluminum rims of built bicycle wheels where tire fit is so tight that I prefer not using rim tape. Did one with very old (pre bar-code) PC-7 (fibrous 2-part epoxy putty) that seemed to come out OK, but was stiff to mix and place. Also, aluminum filler seems to make some sense in an aluminum part. (Color is not a consideration here. Rather, adhesion and maybe similar rates of thermal expansion....the Alumbond spec is 40 x 10 *-6 and Al metal is 23 x 10*-6.)

For reference, there is also a fast version of this Hy-poxy with expansion spec of 50 x 10 *-6. And a thinner castable version. And a thicker quick-putty version.

Wouldn't hesitate to use JB Weld here. Interesting that its MSDS indicates substantial limestone in the mix, and I cannot find a properties sheet listing thermal expansion coefficient.

 

Aha...PVC (poly-vinyl chloride) pipe (white, pressure pipe for water, found in a lot of homes), not a problem, I use PVC cement (blue or clear), works well.

Yes, sir, them's the stuff.
