cheers guys :) appreciated.

ive been told there's this "plastic fuse" stuff... that fuses the plastic together (but not strong enough to do a bumper like this)

basically, looking for it to fuse/tack on the sections i want plastic welded, so i dont need to explain how its meant to sit etc :)

any more info matt?

i've got some small bits and pieces i need to fix, like my broken canard, that plastic fuse stuff is probably perfect for it. :)

If you can manage to dig up a product called JB's Waterweld then do it. Or Selley's Plastibond. JB's is like a green stick that you cut a bit off of, and it has like a core and outside stuff that you knead together and it starts setting. Plastibond is a 2-part 4L tin.

Both I have seen take to any surface, both set harder than steel and both can be drilled and tapped. We've used both on underwater areas of our boat and had no dramas.

Although if its for that bumper then I would only use the above for getting it where you're happy with it's position... I'd fibreglass over the top of it and then make the join schmicko!
