[SEL] gluing plastic OT

[Dave Otto]

Hi Tom

I found out just this week that there is a special repair kit for plastic
automotive bumpers; it is available from that automotive body and paint
suppliers.

My coworker purchase one of these kits to repair the broken hood of a
snowmobile. The kit is a two part material that comes in syringes with a
special gun and mixing tube.

It apparently has a working time of less than two minutes so one need to
work quickly. The kit also has a roll of special reinforcing tape (probably
some type of fiberglass); it is about 2" wide and looks like the stuff that
you would use with drywall.

So if you have a body and paint store near by you may want to check with
them.

Just did a Google search on John Deere hoods and the cracking is a very  
common problem and lots of folks searching for the right way to repair
them.  
Seems like a fiberglass repair kit from auto parts may be the way  to go.
