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.

 

what the heck is jb welding??

 

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?

 

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..
