Z Rim Split

[Gashead]

Gotta Z rim with a split, maybe an inch and a half, anyone ever tried to do a repair, it will go on a show pony, so might just try to hide ?


Cheers

Epoxy resin glue type stuff?

[BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN]

hot knife and seal the top and then sand and cover up

I don't think it melts to form the 2 sides together,  I tried it once with a heat gun and it just blistered,  I would say pony only unless your prepared to really fook it up....

Clean the split and slide in a little epoxy and nip up with a G clamp

Yep, might get some glue and a clamp, see if that works

Are they Nylon? Its a thermoplastic and generally the only way of bonding it is fusing it with heat. Getting the right temp to fuse and not melt though could be tricky

Send it me Nick, I have some glue at work that fuses plastics together. It dries totally clear and I inject it so less chance if damaging the rim getting enough in to bond it together.

It's called 'tensol 70' if u prefer to have a go yourself.

I reckon the best way to fix it is to organise a prayer group and start praying
