Whats The Right Glue For This Plastic?
While replacing some center console lights, I snapped a piece of the black structural plastic that surrounds the radio inside the dash. I tried Gorilla Glue but it did not hold. I don't want to try too many adhesives because its tough to clean up the mating surfaces each time. What works for this kind of plastic?

If you have a Hobby Lobby or similar look for Tenax 74 - they call it a "plastic welder" but it's applied with the brush in the cap about $3 if I remeber correctly. Only thing I ever found that would repair even Bakelite type plastic. If you cannot locate this product and have some of that type of plastic add some pieces of the plastic in a coffee can with Xylene till melted -use as glue.

How about the coolant tank?
It does have a small crack about 1/4 in and is loosing presure . Does the regular PVC cement works?

 I wouldn't think that PVC cement would work. In the JEGS catalog they suggest using Moroso A&B Epoxy for coolant tank repair.

repair plastics
On most hard plastic(styrene) and yours, try Krazy Glue, fast, minimum clamping required (hold for 20 seconds). Usually works and holds. On Poly (soft plastics) such as water bottle, use soldering iron (flat surface) this will melt crack or use hot wax gun. Either way, I have had success with these. good luck, Abe G

Actually I just remembered I have some glue that came with a model house kit that goes with a German train set. I figured German plastic - German glue, why not? I dabbed some on and it sort of melted the plastic a little. It has a handy needle on top for getting those tight places. I glued the piece in and hoping for the best!
