repairing a peli case
angus:
i have acquired a pelicase that has had a round hole drilled in it.... i believe they cases are made of polypropylene ? what can i glue a repair patch in with ??
have considered polyurethane adhesive an a patch held in with screws but wonder if there is anything better ...
mexican jon:
Depending on the size of hole I would tap it and and screw a piece of threaded polypropylene rod in coated in super glue :thumbup: How big is the hole :scratch:
Joules:
You can weld polypropylene with a soldering iron, add filler to make the weld proud then scrape it back and polish/sand to match finish. Or wear the wound as a badge of honour on your Pelicase.
angus:
2 holes maybe 30mm diameter....did wonder about tapping them and making a plug.
what kind of fool buys a waterproof expensive box then drills a hole in it for a pipe!!

would need to find a suitable bit of polyprop first......
