ENFORCER Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I am looking for any ideas on how to repair a tear in my AP lid i have, as you can see by the pics the tear is on the lower left jaw line. What is the best method to use and how to make that section stronger ???? Thanks for any help guys Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ground pounder Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Cut a piece of cloth (I use canvas from the belt) a little bigger than the crack and soak the cloth in E6000. Lay it on the crack (inside of helmet of course). Once it fully dries it seals cracks and stops it from continuing to crack. I've used that method on several small cracks and chips in my armor and it works great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pandatrooper Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Use plastic weld on the seam and glue a plastic shim behind it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FIVE Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I was gonna give the E-6000 option. But either is a good fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trooper1 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I use what panda trooper uses as well I think. Plastic welder from Devco It's an epoxy for plastic. Won't break there ever again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyBoy Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 You can also use a piece of industrial velcro to completely provide extra strength. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ENFORCER Posted April 15, 2012 Author Share Posted April 15, 2012 Hi guys got the crack repaired, thanks for all the help and it turned out very well. My friend who builds droids helped me out with the repair using plastic weld and i will add the canvas with E600 as a back up. Thanks again guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
