+arcadeshopper Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 pretty sure this isnt plastic Also a curse on the UPS store that thought a pbox in the bottom of a cardboard box with one layer of bubblewrap was acceptable. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wierd_w Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 (edited) Looks like high density polyurethane foam. If so, the best "glue" would be 2 part polyurethane resin. Mix in a dixie cup, paint on both sides of the damaged foam, put together and clamp in place. Clean edges with a razor blade while still noncured to minimize surface blemishes. Sand lightly with 1000 grit or finer paper once cured. Edited January 8, 2022 by wierd_w 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+FALCOR4 Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 I've had good luck with JB Weld Plastic Bonder #50133. Found it on Amazon and at Auto Zone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little sanding afterwards and some spray paint will make look brand new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOME AUTOMATION Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Speaking of auto zone, you can patch almost anything with Bondo. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really want to understand how that happens. Some people are posting images which devolve into gobbledy-gook. How are you guys inserting those images?

wierd_w Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Nope, but I was being serious. Its mostly limestone and talc by weight, with just enough resin to make it sticky. Some sodium silicate to discourage caking in the mixing hopper when they mix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
