Hey guys,

I just wanted to confirm, are a lot of the interior plastics actually polypropylene? I thought they were ABS and bought ABS epoxy (broke a tab off my tweeter cover) and that didn't bond whatsoever. Silly low surface energy plastics...

I think JBWeld Plastic Weld works for PP - has anyone ever used an epoxy that worked?

No, it isn't smile.gif The Loctite stuff didn't work... wonder if Home Depot will take it back lol
Thanks for the suggestion!

I used steelstik and just sanded it down smooth after. Never broke again. Even shaped new sections of plastic that chipped/broke off And sanded it down and painted to make it look just like the plastic too. Those haven't broke either smile.gif

Steelstik, huh? I'll look into trying that.
