Sidecover / Plastic Repair Option

[twr1776]

I found this product recommended (Q-Bond) on another forum and used it last night to repair a broken tab or a KLR sidecover. It is similar to Krazy Glue but and comes with a powder like substance to "fill" in with the repair to give the repair extra strength. I have not used this product on a GS sidecover but the repair with the reinforcing powder is very strong for what I used it on. I alternated the glue and powder in leyers and am very happy with the results.

Here is my repair

Like Krazy Glue and a powder-like substance? I'm womderimg if it simply IS a cyanoacrylate glue (i.e., Krazy Glue, Super Glue) and baking soda (sodium bicarbonate). Baking soda can be used as an activator for super glue, as I've just recently found out. Have only used this technique once to repair the vacuum cleaner, but did performed quite well.
Another option I'm working with right now is ABS Cement. The stock plastic headlight bucket has two screw hole blowouts by the PO, and am using this stuff to rebuild the areas. One trick I've found that seems to help speed things up is to put the item on a cookie sheet and place in the oven on the "Warm" setting. I think all cement is is ABS plastic liquified in acetone. So far, so good.

I've heard good things about Q-Bond, but have never used it.

ABS cement works very well on most plastic parts. You can buy it in (some) plumbing supply houses or just make your own with plastic shavings and acetone. Link... http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum...d.php?t=189992
