Re: After years getting somewhat along
Nice one. Don't forget to give us full details of the materials/techniques once it's finished.
I've had some success with PLASTEX, using it to fill cracks and gaps in broken fairings.
And there's some DIY plastic-welding tips on my site HERE.

Re: After years getting somewhat along
did you jut mould the molten plastic arround it ? then I doubt it will be tough enough once trimed down, as both plastics ain't welded together.
hope I'm wrong though, keep us updated
My ultimate goal is to die young as late as possible !

Re: After years getting somewhat along
The black stuff is a molding agent that Plastex sells to allow fabrication of broken tabs etc. You heat it up, it gets all rubbery , then you simply apply it over a tab that is good. Then it hardens to the shape of the tab. The newly formed tab mold is then transferred to the broken area, aligned , there has to be a fill point for the powder and liquid to go in. To be honest this is one of the biggest repairs I have done and I have not opened it up yet. I'm worried that the powder/liquid flowed deep enough.

It did not flow all the way in, but that's not too bad I can just do it over, I tried a little different approach.

Re: After years getting somewhat along
It's been quite some time since I last logged here, and I completely missed this thread! Great job so far pepsi, I also like the different approach to the whole restoration thing! I've heard/read amazing reviews on Plastex, I have to give it a try someday. Keep up the good work mate,
Cheers, Fanis

Re: After years getting somewhat along
more mock ups with masking tape, the "KR1-S" is a place keeper, I will need to come up with something like it, like maybe " KR-250S".... that might not fit as well , so maybe "KR1-Z" ?
