Best plastic glue to use?
« on: July 15, 2016, 08:37:00 pm »
Hello,
         I have a front fork protector on my 89 Kx250 that is cracked, new parts are not available so I have to repair it, can anyone recommended the best glue for it? Thanks.

Have you tried UFO? I got a pair of UFO ones for an 89 KX a couple of years back.
The good thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.

 I've had a lot of success with Loctite 406.

Buy a product called Rapid Fix, google it & watch the promo video. It's awesome stuff & a must in everyone's workshop.

Decided to give Rapid Fix a go because I hadn't used it before and didn't want to go down the non genuine path just yet.

The stuff works awesome. I only had a small crack and being able to " weld " on the outside of the crack, so far it looks really strong.

I guess a ride will test it out, would definitely recommend it. After looking at the online videos, I will be keeping some handy.

Yeah, you can buy it in auto parts stores. I have two little bottles in my fridge, one has glued the top on/closed. (Still liquid inside....)

It's crazy strong in some applications.

Accrafix (spelling)is another great plastic glue - more "body" and can reinforce a bit. The loctite is thin "super glue". Both last longer refrigerated.
