Skylar Leakey Posted April 7, 2017 Report Posted April 7, 2017 I have a small crack on the right side of the upper part of my chest pice what can I do to fix that? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G530AZ using Tapatalk Quote
MBullen64 Posted April 7, 2017 Report Posted April 7, 2017 Break out a drill and abs paste. Drill a small hole at the closed end of the crack. This will slow or stop the progression of the crack. Mask off the area around the crack with the trusty painter's tape Then fill in the crack and hole with the abs paste. Remove the painter's tape and let it dry over night. Wet sand the repair and touch it up. This is a pretty basic run down. There are more detailed instructions available in the 501st forums. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk 1 Quote

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G530AZ using Tapatalk You have to patch it from inside with similar plastic or melt plastic with acetone, make a paste and fill it, either way, do it from inside to repair it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
justjoseph63[Staff] Posted April 7, 2017 Report Posted April 7, 2017 Some great advice there,gentlemen! I would add a small scrap of ABS on the inside. Quote
68Brick[TK] Posted April 7, 2017 Report Posted April 7, 2017 Ben, Paul, and Joseph have got it right. Good Luck with your repair. It'll turn out fine! Quote
Skylar Leakey Posted April 7, 2017 Author Report Posted April 7, 2017 You know a good brand to use? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G530AZ using Tapatalk Quote
68Brick[TK] Posted April 7, 2017 Report Posted April 7, 2017 Plain acetone from your local hardware store or body shop. Chop up some spare ABS into a container (stainless steel or glass container), add in some acetone, let sit then mix to a toothpaste consistency and you're on your way. 2 Quote
Dark CMF[Staff] Posted April 7, 2017 Report Posted April 7, 2017 You can also check for Acetone at a local beauty supply like Sally Beauty Supply. They have small, cheap bottles of pure acetone as well. Maybe $5 will get you plenty for TK purposes. 2 Quote

MrSnrub[501st] Posted April 13, 2017 Report Posted April 13, 2017 easiest method would be using CA glue with some scrap abs behind, what i did for the couple of cracks ive had Quote
justjoseph63[Staff] Posted April 13, 2017 Report Posted April 13, 2017 Be sure to buy pure acetone and not fingernail polish remover, which contains acetone, but it is highly diluted and doesn't work 2 Quote
