    Way To Repair Broken Housings, Cases, etc.

    A fast, easy and very strong way to fix/patch/strengthen broken plastic housings, cases, boxes, enclosures, etc. Just need epoxy and cloth strips or fiber tape. With fast set epoxy you can finish a repair in 1-1.5 hours when time is critical. Produces a fiberglass-like result.

    Works well on almost anything that epoxy will stick to: plastics, bakelite, metals, etc.





    MATERIALS:
    - Epoxy (fast or slow dry per video)
    - Cloth strips or fiber tape
    - Hand protection (rubber gloves or plastic bags)
    - Sandpaper (for surface prep)
