plastic welding

gvgdhar

Hi,
Any suggestions on plastic welding service in (south) Dublin area? I need to get my car's headlight mounting fixed.

I repaire one before with some Tec7 and a thin piece of metal connecting the broken pieces and supporting them. Of course, it depends on where the break is, but some Tec7 should be strong enough to sort that out.

I repaired mine yesterday using a soldering iron to melt the mount back on to the lamp, then melt a bit of cable tie onto the join to strengthen it a bit.
Or heat up a small bit of wire (coat hanger maybe) and melt it into the mount across the join.
Tec7 route is just as good too though.

Nct don't care what it looks like either, once it's solid .

That'd do the trick alright. But I used the bonding adhesive in the big tube for mine. Worked great, with the thin metal strip as support, the bracket was super strong.
