slmalgus Posted December 10, 2019 Report Posted December 10, 2019 (edited) So I ran into this issue, I tried removing the bridges of my shoulder straps off of my chest plate because there was a rivet showing through, and it made a dime size hole in my chest plate, is the plate ruined or is there a way to fill it, sand and repaint?

TK20187[TK] Posted December 10, 2019 Report Posted December 10, 2019 You can use some abs paste to fix the hole.I'd glue a piece of Abs behind the hoke, then fiill the crack with ABS paste (100% pure acetone and ABS trimmings) and sand down when its dried. Avoid using nail varnish remover as its just not strong enough. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk Quote
slmalgus Posted December 10, 2019 Author Report Posted December 10, 2019 Do you know where I could find abs trimmings to create this filling? Or do they sell this in stores? Thanks 1 Quote
TK20187[TK] Posted December 10, 2019 Report Posted December 10, 2019 It's best to use some trimmings from your kit, that way you'll get a good colour matchSent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk Quote

slmalgus Posted December 12, 2019 Author Report Posted December 12, 2019 Hi Alex, how did you go?Sent from my SM-G960F using TapatalkI'm going to use abs from justjoseph63, I was telling him I've been searching for abs, I dont have things to use at my house and usually car parts are made of ABS, but everything is stamped in German since I'm at VW dealer, so I cant tell 100% if its ABS, but I should be good now I'll just go buy some MEK.
