I knew about the baking soda and super glue, in fact i've used it several times. However your method here for making the broken lug, and using the bevelled straw for a shovel was brilliant I have locked it in my memory bank. thank you, well done..!!
Or just use a two-part epoxy with any non-organic filler. I often use Devcon 5 minute epoxy and iron oxide powder. No layering necessary. I do use tape as a form, however.
@@HOOTGIBSON-jq1jf Subtle sarcasm. I like it. Note that I suggested "any non-organic filler". I just happen to use iron oxide for its magnetic properties. Not baking soda easy, but easy enough to get from many online sources. And it's "aisle", smarta**.
Superglue and baking soda is often recommended for this sort of plastic repair. I am though suspicious of how strong it really is compared with the original plastic. As someone said supeglue is not water resistant. Also what types of plastic does it stick to? Many plasics like PP, nylon and PTFE are notoriously difficult to stick anything to strongly.
I tried it and it does make an impressively strong "resin" but I can't vouch for it's adhesion to the base plastic, as I used gel CA, which just forms globules. You need liquid CA for this job.
