No glue / epoxy will work, but you can plastic weld it.Need advice on glue/epoxy,for plastic hood on BX1850. Thanks
A BX24 has plenty of plastic parts!Never buy a plastic tractor
That plus if you can, on the backside run a strip of something gauze or some open weave material and soak it with JB.JB Weld for plastic should work.
I just used JB Weld for plastic on a Peterbilt fuel tank fairing and it worked great. It's really tenacious stuff. I strip of reinforcing behind it will make the repair much stronger too.JB Weld for plastic should work.
You hit it on the nail head, it's not the fact that it's plastic, it's the type of plastic that you are working with that makes it problematic.Don't remember where I read it , but some glues,JB weld won't stick to the plastic kubota uses. Cleaned it with alcohol, break cleaner, still will not stick. It's something about the oil in the plastic. Also anyone use any of the plastic welders, from Harbor Freight? Thanks
The 800W unit is nice if you can work quickly, to much heat and you could just blow through or warp the heck out of what you're working with.i have a BX2350 and my plastics are not in terrrible shape but i have a couple of small cracks..... on the wrap around front/side panels. of course i would like to prevent the cracks from becoming an issue. would i buy the plastic welding iron thats 80w or go for the 800W unit?
I used Marine Epoxy on a crack I had on the inside of the door of my washing machine that was leaking. That was 3 years ago and worked fine.
