With how much plastic is in cars, it’s only a matter of time before some plastic breaks in your car. In this video we use epoxy to fix the broken glove box in my R32 for about $10. Ive also been able to fix a few kids toys with the same method. You can also use washers, or even a paperclip to reinforce the repair. #DIYwtihDAP #humblemechanic

Nicely explained. I've proven myself really good at breaking old plastic. A matching skill to repair those mistakes would complement well. Some guys use fillers, and they report success for building up a tab. Others swear by Q-bond, which comes with its own filler premixed. You did well without filler, and it turned out great. Love that paper clip idea.
Jb weld
duralast just came out ceramic wiper blades they started selling them at autozone. yep ceramic ones they work great
Good video man, very informative. But i think i'll stick to plastic welding with a soldering iron, normally just use broken peices of plastic then use cable ties to melt into the joint, hasn't failed me yet.
Hey there… I really appreciate how you take the time to explain everything in such great detail… Awesome job!
I use the same process..but use flat Black paint made to paint dashboards, look up dashboard paint at your parts store..and hobby putty to form moulds instead of masking tape, I also use plastic repair epoxy in black because it's actually made for this specific purpose instead of clear epoxy ….but good job for your first attempt, not everyone researches existing methods before making a YouTube video…I like that you use different products not fit for purpose for those of us that have no interest in doing it correctly….big thumbs up
