Nylon!? Now why didn't I think of that possibility? Formic acid? No thanks!


Guess while we are on the subject it could be Polyester as well.


Think I will try heat welding or just “band aiding” the invisible portion of the cracked area with some fiber material soaked in epoxy.


I actually prefer Devcon Plastic Welder over JB Weld in a case like this as even though both are 2-part epoxies the Devcon never seems to get as “brittle” over time as the JB can IMHO and it responds to thinning very well. 3M makes an equivalent to the Devcon as well.


As much as we all know and and love our cars I am always surprised how little there is out there on identifying what parts are made from exactly what materials – often times this makes all the difference between being able to make an invisible repair or just making an absolute mess.


Cheers!
