Couldnt you just use epoxy resin to fill the groove after youve melted the 2 pieces together?

@MutR Bondo cures faster and sands much better.

wow your like a motorcycle fairing doctor. lol.

[wedginator]

@sinblesser haha, thanks!

this doesnt last, the only thing i found that will last is fiberglass resin and fiberglass mat. whats with all the bondo on the inside?

[wedginator]

@obamasuxacock The fairing with all that bondo wasn't done by me. That was a used fairing where I had to use a piece from to fix my green fairing. But if you must know, isn't it obvious what that bondo was for? That fairing was crashed before and it was just held together with the bondo.

Don't use the butane its open flame just use electric solder iron with knife or pen point and you should be using clean plastic for proper bonding paints have different solvents in them can inhibit the boning Open flame is good if you intentionally want the plastic to twist or warp

i don't get cutting into it.

you didn't show melting the filler material.

[anthonydavid81]

I did the same thing to my bike, but it is better if you sand/grind away the paint from the crack and filler plastic. I also gave it extra strength by melting pieces of paper clips into the plastic across the crack. Hold the iron on the paper clip and it heats up enough to melt the plastic as it falls into place.

If you drill small holes across from each other, throw some JB weld (the mixable kind... NOT the stick kind) zip tie the holes together, put some supporting JB weld on the inside of the crack, and enough to sand down flat on the outside, then cut the zip ties after a few hours of sitting, fill the holes, then sand all of it... JB well is drillable, sandable, paintable... and no toxic fumes :D
