Best/strongest Plastic adhesive?

[edelweiss]

Have a cracked front dirt bike fender (yellow plastic). Any strong plastic adhesives that don't expand and are clear? I know there's Gorilla glue quick set, BUT they never mention plastic on any of their product labels. Sketchy.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
John

That seems like JB weld. The fender I have is solid yellow all the way through. Just wondering if this stuff dries white? Would look crappy with a white "vein" in the plastic...

Basically, I'm going to glue it and clamp it overnight. Thanks.

Very cool. I was reading about plastics gluing and it's definitely difficult because of the "low energy" surface of the plastic. I'm going to check out this stuff. Thanks!

Have you thought about "welding" it from the back side with a soldering iron?

Do you know what type of plastic it is? if its HDPE you'll probably want to weld it, you can do it with a soldering iron, weld it from the back so the front stays nice and clean

I just realized I basically quoted you 18Bravo, great idea!

I also just noticed the DTT logs IP addresses.. is that new? maybe I should sleep more..
