A new one is a fair chunk o' change. I'll try JB Weld on it. The angle of attack is about 40°, so I expect there'll be significant torque force placed on the joint. That worries me a bit. The assembly was injection-molded as a single piece. Maybe a thin strand of wire circumferencing all three blade tips would provide sufficient relief.. I'll have to experiment. Thanks! |

If its plastic, can you obtain a small amount of the solvent type of adhesive used by those folk that make objects from Acrylic/Perspex/Plexiglas? (is Plexiglas real or was that something from Star Trek?) I got some stuff called HCL it looks like water has no odour but is a solvent adhesive...When the lock broke on my Ford Mondeo ( Mercury to you guys...), I used the stuff to re glue the broken plastic tag...worked a treat and was as good as new...Becuase its a solvent it literally welded the broken part back on to the parent |

My favorite glue for joining plastic is 'cyanoacrylate', also known as Super Glue or Krazy Glue. I've used it to join PVC sheet, and even with right angle joints, it's way stronger than the PVC glue made for joining pipe. I use plastic a lot for mocking up projects. If anyone is interested, here is a link to a webpage where a guy experimented with different adhesives: http://www.solarbotics.net/starting/200207_sintra/200207_sintra_adhes.html |
