Number 1 son dropped his scooter and cracked the front fairing and needs to
glue the
bits together ... thought of resin and thin fibreglass backing but is there
a tidier way, before
I start??

i imagine the fairing will be a thermo plastic like most other bike
fairings, so a heat weld system would be best,
people use a large soldering iron and some filler sticks to repair race bike
fairings, on subsequent droppings the fairing cracks in different places
than the repair, so it seems the repair is stronger than origional.

Thanks for reply Gazz ... I have a hot glue gun, wonder if I can get plastic
sticks to suit? as the glue is rather hot when molten..(seems I need plastic
filler sticks anyway).
I have tried super glue but it doesn`t hold too well and I was reluctant to
use
a hot iron for fear of making a proper pigs ear of the job, maybe, I can
stitch
weld with an iron and fill the rest with the glue gun and thermo plastic
sticks?

Super glue aint wot it used to be is it??? lol.
