products to repair cracked splitter??

[bigrichi 0]

After the weather we've had it seems my snow plow 90mm spoiler has now got a small crack in it.

 

Can anybody recommend a product which will repair it??

Or would strong super glue be ok??

 

Something readily available from likes of Halfords or B&Q would be better.

 

Cheers

try some plastic welding, that might do it

Something I can do on the drive way??

this is a vid of a plastic welding tool, but you can use anything as long as it melts the plastic, Ive used a soldering iron, you'll need extra plastic though to use as weld.

 

just an idea. theres also strong glues that'll work to I imagine

Hi, there is a glue available called Q-BOND, that comes with a plastic powder that you put on the crack then apply the glue, its very good, i use it when i cant get the plastic welder into the area required, never failed. just be sure to follow the instructions or you could end up as part of the splitter :grin:

 

si.

 

P.S do the repair at the back of the splitter not the front if you can. looks better. :)

or you can use bi-component epoxy glue. I repaired my splitter with this glue and hasn't cracked after some (really) (hard) bumps hitting the splitter

Funnily enough I have just repaired my split splitter this weekend. Camberly Auto factors sell 'Q-Bond'. It's really good stuff!

Apparently they also sell the Q-Bond glue on its own without the plastic powder.

If the crack is quite new and clean you shouldn't need the powder compound pack as the powder almost acts as a gap filler.

I think the glue on it's own is around a fiver and the full kit 15.

 

Hope this helps, good luck.
