Sonreir said:Anyone know what type plastic is used in the rods? Rolls of ABS for 3D printing are pretty cheap and LOTS of colors available.
1fasgsxr said:How far away are they from the crack? That heat might melt em pretty quick. Mine is getting a color change so I will be doing both sides and sand etc etc..
canyoncarver said:You use the same kind of rod as the plastic you are welding, polypropylene, abs, etc... Post up a source of the abs rolls if you can.

Maritime said:You may want to chemical weld then. you can use MEK and abs chunks and make a slurry to apply and then it turns back into solid ABS, you can use a little glass mat or cloth to make it stronger. I will be using that technique this spring to fix the ABS front on my camper. Just need a respirator to not die

advCo said:Slim chance you can save that decal. You'd have to repair it from the back as Mike said using cloth, etc. and you'd still see the crack through it regardless.
If you get a sheet of trace paper and trade the outer contours, we can reproduce that graphic (assuming they aren't readily available).
