Cracked Body
« on: August 07, 2009, 03:28:24 AM »
So my PR has a bit of a crack in the body from UPS, and I was wondering if anybody might have some know-how on how to fix something like this.  Here are some pics for reference to show the damage, any and all information is greatly appreciated.

Gorilla glue and some OD touchup paint might work.

Don't bother with any type of superglue.  Use ABS epoxy, and let it sit for a couple days.  If you can, have it fitted under pressure while it sets.  It's hard to find paint that will match that finish, but you can get close by using Krylon ultra-flat, then polishing it up after it cures.  Hope that helps.

Hi,
the ABS epoxy is a good solution, but you might find a plastic shop that can weld it. I have a plastic welder, and have been able to repair cracks in ABS material with good results. Check the yellow pages for a plastic company, there are quite a few in Phoenix, they might be able to help.
