Support for cabin hatches
#1
I am trying to glue the support arm for one of my hatches back to it. So far I tried Gorrila glue and a two part epoxy that said it was rated for two tons. Neither glue worked. Any help or suggestions would be great.

Drill it out & put a dowel in there, then glue it. Or you could send it to me & I can extrusion weld it for you, but it won't look pretty & I'd probably f*ck it up more than it is right now.
Just curious, how much is a new one?

The Eastwood Co. makes a small scale plastic welder that is realitivly inexpensive to purchase, but I think you could buy a new hatch for what it would cost to buy the welder.
I would take it off & go to a body shop. Most large body shops have plastic welders & could probably hook you up.
Again, I would just buy a new one.

Thanks for the info. I like the idea of buying the welder even if it costs more than buying a new hatch. Another reason to buy a new tool is OK with me. Scott your a Dentist you counldn't make some crazy epoxy that would keep it from falling off.

no i glued it three times before i found out that it was plastic welded.

are they both made of plastic or is the support made of aluminum or some other metal? Ive had some realy good luck with some stuff called weld-on by IPS corp http://www.ipscorp.com/ stuff is strong when it comes to joining acrylic...ive busted the acrylic before the joint failed!
When you tried that epoxy stuff....did you sand the mating surfaces to have a clean bond surfaces or just go right ontop of the old glue/adhesive? that may be the problem why it didnt bond too...
