Plastic grill glue
Hello, I have a lower plastic grill were the turn signal is at. Two very tight cracks were the horizontal grill meets a vertical grill at the turn signal light. My question is what type of glue should I use for a lasting repair. Thank you, Al
Interested as well. Has anyone used the plastic "Welding" kits that use heat and rods to weld most plastics?
If it's a plastic that cracks as your grill has, superglue (cyanoacrylate) works well. SEM used to have a kit for plastic repair that was superglue and a spray bottle of a drying agent.
There are many 2 part bonding agents out today that work great but for a small repair on a grille I still use cyano glue, it'll save you 30 buck also.
Plastic welders that I have used are for larger jobs like bumper covers, There may be smaller ones out there, I haven't used one. Plastic welding is done with an iron usually with a flat tip and different rods for several applications. they lend themselves to filling rips/gouges etc. for a small crack a thinner material will give a cleaner repair.
Somebody chime in if I'm still in the dark ages here.
