Repairing ABS plastic

[Jhonno]

Right my front lip was buggered by a combination of a drain at Gaydon and then a suicidal bunny rabbit a day later snapped it in 2..

Can you repair ABS plastic? doesnt have to be perfect, but seein as it cost me Ԛ£Ã”šÃ‚£Ãƒ”šÃ‚£ i'd like to get more than a couple of months use out of it..

Reiger lips have a tendancy to snap, their a bit more brittle compared to an IS lip.


You could fiberglass it together?, use strong epoxy glue, then if theres chunks out etc fiber glass over the joint and sand down

You should be able to weld it together with a solering iron and then fibreglass the back to reinforce it.
It worked on the cracked bumber on my manta!

Use ABS pipe cement, you can get it a plumbing supply. You put it on one side and once joined in chemically fuses the two materials together and is very strong. That is how I am making my prototype body kit pieces.
