Fixing Broken Plastic Tabs

[DidJettarun]

Took out the interior for total rehab on the 03 and of course broke lots of tabs. After research I found a product and thought that I would pass on my results.

Plastifix from Urethane Supply

Before repair:

Plastic mold of neighboring tab ready for introduction of Plasticfix powder and reagent

New tab ready for trimming with x-acto and drilling

That's pretty neat. What I have done is melt the existing parts together into one piece with a 100 watt soldering iron. If it's ABS plastic, Lego's work great for extra plastic as most Lego's are ABS except for the clear parts.

And, you'll find yourself saying "I didn't have Lego's like this when I was a kid."

That is a terrible thing to do with good Legos! Cheap cups from Walmart or plastic model parts trees (called Sprue) are much better solutions. The world needs more Legos, not less.

Yes, I still have all 14,000 pieces from when I was a kid.
