MyPawnsEatPpl Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Unfortunately, my Atari 5200 controller storage door was damaged in shipping. What should I do about this? Is normal super glue my best option? Is there any kind of plastic epoxy that works well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osgeld Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 (edited) Scigrip 16 its on Amazon it will weld the plastic back together without fogging it like super glue 16 is water thin so you put the prices back together and use a needle bottle to wet the crack it will start to hold in a few min Theres also sci grip 4 which is better at gap filling its about as thick as pancake syrup Edited March 4, 2018 by Osgeld 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osgeld Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 (edited) Also in a pinch you can use pvc primer and pro tips All of these have nasty fumes do it in a well ventilated area And do not try to wipe any excess all these take at least 24-48 hours to cure wiping will smear the plastic Edited March 4, 2018 by Osgeld Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atari-dna Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 (edited) I’ve had luck with simple 2 part epoxy from Home Depot, though the adhesives above might be more robust. Caution—these others will melt the plastic and “weld” the parts together. Apply sparingly as a little goes a long way. It’s a shame shippers are so blasé, if packed correctly there’s no reason this should happen. Edited March 6, 2018 by atari-dna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
