stitching plastic

[sirkdev]

So I need to repair a cracked hood on an older sled that I am working on, any tips or suggestions on what not to do, seems pretty straight forward drill holes both sides and ziptie which I have done before. Has anybody done anything else that has worked better?

Thanks

Look up plastic welding on the interweeb. Lots of different methods.

I use a butane soldering iron, or small torch

Just don't inhale the smoke, I'm sure it's not good for u

Ive done that way and other times put flat tip in soldering iron and lightly melted material
back together(quad plastics). And also used both way's together. Worked for me.

Stitch with zip ties or plastic welding should work fine.
