Cool Plastic repair

Just picked up some XR8 Rebel side skitrs. The colour matches my AUII. One is slighlty damage underneath. Any suggestions on how to repair a plastic side skirt?
I waqs thinking of the blue gule used to fasten pool pipes together. Or use some Sikaflex.

I watched the remaking of 'Eleanor' on Fox a few weeks back, when adding the body moulds they used sikaflex then bogged over the top of it.. The fininshed product was A1 so i wouldnt hesitate in doing it that way

I suggest you PM MADNC_8...he does this for a living and knows his stuff as far as plastic repair is concerned.

Default So far so good

The blue gule used to fasten pool pipes together has held for the past 3 days. I ill have to reinforce a larger crak on the under side. I'm going to try a very thin solid plaicts and Sikaflex it on.
