strotter Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 I've had the dash of my '72 out, and am now getting ready to reassemble. The topmost chrome plastic strip of my center console - above the vent - is cracked cleanly right through. Now, this thing is clearly visible from the driver's seat, so if I botch this repair it'll be the only thing I'll ever think about when I climb in the car, so I want to get it right. Can anybody with a certainty recommend a plastic adhesive that'll bond this thing back together? I have no idea what kind of plastic it is either, so if you can't suggest a good glue, that bit of information might be enough. Thanks for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB26powered74zcar Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 I've had pretty good luck using a two part plastic repair kit that comes in a twin syringe type container. Just squirt out what you need and mix the two parts together. I picked it up at Nappa Auto parts, but have seen this type of plastic repair kits at other stores also. Sorry, don't remember a name brand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatMan Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 When I was into model air planes, I used the Testors brand cement, the stuff in the orange tube, IIRC. The blue tube was a different amalgum, and did not bond as well, or as quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK-Z Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 I used some epoxy. I mixed it and put it on, then put a little baking soda on it and some saran wrap and then tried to even it out with the saran wrap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
