    Airbox Repair

    Has anyone had any luck using some of the better plastic repair kits on things such as an airbox? I have one that needs serious repair. TIA

    JB Weld, Clean the area well and let it cure. Good Stuff!

    Life is a balancing act, enjoy every day, "later" will come sooner than you think. Denying yourself joy now betting you will have health and money to enjoy life later is a bad bet.

      Thanks Marvin.
      I was thinking about using the plastic repair kit from Eastwood.
      I've used JB for several things in the past but, not on plastic. Do you think the JB Weld will adhere to smooth plastic?

        Look in the tips and tricks section, there's a really good article on plastic repair, including a "poor man's plastic welder".

          I once used it to Repair a Plastic Gas tank on a Lawn mower. The Repair outlasted the Mower.
