I dropped my S3 in the shop the other day and broke off a turn-signal. I've since got a new one (Thx Dave) but it got me wondering if there is any way to repair that polyrazzmatazz fiber composite stuff? Can I treat it like fiberglass? Just curious. Rob | ||

A lot of r/c car components are made of that graphite/fiber/plastic stuff.... there may be a bonding agent at a hobby shop that will repair that stuff.} | ||

They are so cheap it's not worth the effort. The high tech adhesives cost around 5 bucks for a small tube, more for the 2 part stuff. A new signal is less than 10 bucks. I just replace the buggers. | ||

I just replace the buggers. Which I did. I was just wondering if that kind of material needed something special to repair it or would plain ol' resin fiberglass (or poly) work? Being Scotch at heart (and heritage) I'm a penny pinch'n fool. Rob} | ||

Rek, you are looking for this site. It is one of the best for abs repair. That is what the fairing is made of. WWW.urethanesupply.com/plastifixintro.html This stuff works great, and is very reasonably priced. | ||

Rek, according to the expert at UrethaneSupply the best repair for ABS is - - ABS sewer pipe adhesive. I bought their plastic welding kit (at local body shop supply house for $185, list $235), used all of the most expensive rod to repair my S3T fairing, and then the book came in the mail, which told me to use ABS solvent to fix cracks. It worked just fine. Bob |
