kkja13,
I have a whole spool of ABS filament and some acetone. I think I want to try the ABS and acetone before I purchase an other tools.
so do you make a paste from Abs and apply with a putty knife.?
Location of crack in main fairing , next to the turn signal, is somewhat common.
If the metal fairing bits are all tweeked to the proper angle/spacing, the plastic bits will never see stresses that will break tabs and bosses. Keep this in mind.
ABS can be glued easily, and once fully dry it's as strong as the substrate. Key concept, fully dry. Glued repairs may take in excess of a week to be mostly dry, over a month to be fully dry.
ABS cement may still be available at your local plumbing supply house, or orange/blue Empire stores. If not, grate some ABS into a jar, add a smidge of acetone, cover, wait until the mix is a uniform consistency. Consider a stiff mixture as a filler, a somewhat liquid mixture as a glue for loose fitting parts, and pure acetone (or virgin lacquer thinner) as a cement for tight fitting parts.
