Hi,
What is best compound(glue, epoxy?) to use?
TIA,



Depends on the plastic. What are you trying to fix?

Hi,
Front skirt(aire dam) of a car which is attached to the bottom of
bumper. Hit a snow bank and it caused a partial viertical crack.


3M Structural Adhesive, p/n 08101, about $22 at auto parts stores, and a
piece of fiberglass auto body repair cloth. The adhesive is a two-part mix,
similar to epoxy. Slather the stuff on to the back side of the cracked piece.
Then slather some more on to the fiberglass cloth. Embed the cloth in the
layer of adhesive. Then slather more adhesive on top of the cloth.
