just wondering if there is something i could apply to the back of plastic interior pieces to strengthen small cracks?

jb weld!



no really. The passenger door handle broke on my fd. I took a hacksaw and etched up the mating surfices (the top of the handle broke from the mount in the door) and jbwelded it. It is 100 times more secure now. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

It's similar to a two part epoxy

instead of a hacksaw blade, try a piece of sand paper if you have one

so this should be standard hardware store stuff?

Rob x-7 01-02-2005 06:06 PM

automotive and hardware store stuff, its a hard putty, like clay

you could use any 2 part epoxy and get the same results for what you need it for and it would not be so thick

yeah Epoxy glues work good.. for some plastic things i use fiberglass to reinforce em from behind.. but ive never done that on the rx7.. . yet..



they also have the clay like stuff that rob mentioned, that comes in a cylinder type package and you just cut a piece off and knead it with your fingers to activate it.. and apply it.. then it drys up.. they also have one like this that dries up like metal..
