aquafang Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I have a shappell rover and the sled has a thin spot that had about a one inch crack in the sleds bottom corner. Any suggestions how to repair? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agronomist_at_IA Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Put hyfax on to protect weak spot on sled. then golfshaft fast dry epoxy or a fiberglas type epoxy for thin spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leech~~ Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Get a good soldering iron and some heavy black plastic like from the black barrels or whatever you can find and “plastic weld” melt a patch of new plastic into the crack. The fiberglass, epoxy or other glue craap will not bond to that type of plastic for long, trust me. I worked in fiberglass and plastics for years! Once the area starts to flex when pulling the sled, it will pop right off or pop off shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
