Strong plastic glue for outside use by Retro Pedro on Sun Dec 13, 2009 10:14 am
Anybody got any recommendations for a strong glue that will permanently glue plastic together and with stand outdoor elements.
I want to glue one of my front headlight protectors back together.
Cheers for any forthcoming info.

Ahha superglue will work but it will leave a shaded area around the sealed section.
Its a difficult one as what ever you use will cloud the plastic around the crack.

Hi Drift - I'm really after strength. Not to worried about the clouding as I only want to use them when laning and playing up the S.E. site.
Protectors easily removed for driving in the dark.

I have them, I left them on permanently and only recently removed them for night driving, the difference is quite shocking :lol:
I have a small crack in one of mine, saved the headlight though.

For super glue I dont think you can beat loctite :wink:
