Patching ABS 'hole'

Recommended Posts

Let's say (strictly hypothetically) that a total newbie was assembling some armor. And it was late, and he was tired, and he was following along with some websites, and he did something really dumb.

Let's say he cut a 'slot' about 3/4 of an inch long, and about 2 millimeters wide, all the way through a piece of ABS. Now it's not in a spot that gets seen a lot, but it IS a spot that can be visible..

What would be some options to fill and cover this? I'm thinking some type of a plastic cement, then careful sanding and painting? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated, as I explore the solutions for this um.. hypothetical problem.

If you have some extra plastic, just cut a piece the size of the whole. Simple.

Or, while I'm not saying you're lazy or anything, I know some lazy troopers who assemble everything with gafers tape saying "it's canon." So, I suppose you could cover it with a piece of white gafers tape, and yes, it would be canon.
