slmalgus Posted December 10, 2019 Report Share 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 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slmalgus Posted December 10, 2019 Author Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK20187[TK] Posted December 10, 2019 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slmalgus Posted December 12, 2019 Author Report Share 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.
