Hi Jon

I'll give you one guess where you get the gun LOL

The guys down here should do a cash sale for you on the spot, they can even charge direct to your CC there and then and get it delivered

Interesting on the slower cure one in that kit, we don't have that kit

I'll do more digging and try and get a part number

Cost for the tube here is about $55

The Wurth's Replast looks interesting - have to repair a ABS belly fairing with a pipe burn in it. Prepped cut up pieces of ABC pumbing pipe in couple of ounces of acetone as susgested on previous threads. Took 3 wks to liquify. Cost $7.00. Also got a sheet of ABS 0.5 mm thick for the repair- $20. I hope to avoid the brittle problem. Has anyone used Wurth's on large surfaces (6cms x 6cms)?

yes I have used it myself on my belly pan where the two mounting screws go in the sides

For that area you use a fine fibreglass tape, if you look at the video further up the thread you will see how its done, to give extra strength

the 1/8 holes are to give extra strength to the repair, you need to use Iso Propyl alcohol, or a alcohol based brake cleaner (not a chlorinated one, there is a difference) as when you sand or grind plastic it releases an oil which will mean any repair material will not bond to it as well, you see them using an olephenic priming spray not really necessary but to the letter of the instructions I guess you should

yes i should have said, you need to clean the plastic before putting on any of the repair glues...
