ABS Plastic Repair

Post by Redphisher »

Anyone out there have any good ideas / product recommendations? I've researched plenty and get plenty of mix opinions. The roof of my Colman pop up camper has some cracks forming nothing real bad and I have seen some roofs that are trashed. Needless to say I would like to repair before it gets worse. Anybody every use anything that worked for them?

a piece of ABS, a butane or propane torch and a something to spread the melted ABS should do the trick.

I USED A HOT IRON AND A SCREWDRIVER TO FORM IT AFTER IT GOT PLIABLE, IT JUST MELTED BACK TOGETHER AND YOU COULD NOT EVEN SEE WHERE THE CRACK WAS.
