Hi all,

Happy New Year!

Mid last year I got hold of a plastic enduro tank which had had a couple of holes/cracks plastic welded.

They were leaking when I got it and I started patching with a soldering iron and bits of plastic.

Looks to work well for two leaks but one has been a pest to stop.

Anyone got any tricks of the trade that might help?

Ta,

Gordo

You could try Q-Bond, have a look in your local motorfactors, the kit comes with 2 powders, grey for aluminium and black for plastics. Its meant o stick anything to anything and oil resistant, not 100% sure for petrol thou but its worth a try, its about £12 quid a kit.

Thanks guys,

I'll give it a go and see what happens. It's getting close to going into the recycling bin.......
