repair usb suitcase

[AndyPandy]

I have a suitcase made from usb moulded plastic that has a 4-6 inch crack in it. Anyone know how I might repair this so its usable again? thanks. AndyPandy

I've not heard of USB plastic ABS maybe?

Its possible to drill little holes & stitch it with iron wire, and/or apply glass fibre mat and resin on the inside. Another approach is metal plate on the inside plus several short bolts. Either way its going to look awful and not be as strong. It could easily be artified into a frnkensteinian flesh wound though.

Dyslexic, thanks for the advice though. Looks like a new one required. AndyPandy

Acetyl Butyrate Styrene , ABS, plastic welding works well

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember AndyPandy saying something like:

Got a soldering iron and some old plastic coathangers? Game on.
