Plast-Aid is a powder that you mix with an activator to form a slurry. It is not a glue. It cures quickly and becomes hard. I usually V the area of the repair to make a stronger bond and then use either a medium cut file or a Dremel to shape the final repair. I could fix that grill in about 2 hours or less from start to finish which is another reason why I like about it plus it’s stronger than the original plastic.Not sure if you have cash on hand but there are a few for sale on feebay. If you're patient and artistic with a dremel, get a piece of fake(its actually plastic) wood at Home Depot and make a new piece for that gap. As mcodecuda stated, get some Plast-aid to glue it in and then use fine emery paper to sand down the seams.
be careful using shroud material as it is not the same plastic, it is a softer slicker plastic,
Guys, I hate to chunk an OEM grill that is useable if it can be "repaired"....any ideas of what material I could attempt a repair with. I do not have a salvage yard close by to select a piece of plastic from another busted grill of some sort.....any thoughts....
