Type of plastics?
I'm trying to glue some plastic together to salvage something. Specifically a small headlight internal tab. I want to make sure I use the correct adhesive product.
So I thought I would ask if anyone here knows what type of plastics Porsche used for various parts. Might be of interest for others on here as well. |
I did some more research.
Basically the type of plastic is typically molded into the piece. There will be markings that relate to a plastic designation/type. I suppose that's a bit of a no-brainer, and sorry if that wasted anyone's time! But in case anyone is interested in the answer! There it is. In my specific case, the piece had PBTGF30 marked on it. A little googling and I got to Polybutylene terephthalate Glass Fiber reinforced 30%...........now to confirm I bought the right glue........ |
I just saw an infomercial for a heat gun type thing that melts short, curved, metal wire into plastic parts. It looked pretty slick for fixing broken plastic parts using the wires like rebar.
Know what I mean, Vern? If I see it online I'll come back and post the link. |
Look into plastic welding.
You can get butane or electric versions. I think Rayrevolver is referring to something like this. https://www.amazon.com/KKmoon-Staplers-Repairing-Machine-Machines/dp/B07WDWG94X/ref=sr_1_16?dchild=1&keywords=plastic+weld&qid=159 7850994&sr=8-16 |
