Hi All we have a 'standard' cordless kettle, mostly made of Stainless Steel, with a hinged lid for filling etc. The plastic retracting catch which keeps the lid closed has started to fail (somewhat poor design IMO) and the lid is popping open.
I am trying to make a (possibly temporary) fix to the catch with a soldering gun and a pack of 'plastic welding sticks', but I'm unsure which plastic to use.
ABS has worked for a short while, but then the repair falls off; the plastics seem to not be totally compatible, I have available:
HDPE ABS PP PC PP/EPDM
I realise that it's hard to be sure about this of course, but any suggestions as to what plastic I might try next for this application?
Thanks Jon N
