Default Re: Help required: Cracked case repair

First thing to do would be to try and clean as much dirt out of the crack as possible, using IPA and a fairly stiff brush, try and get it as clean as possible, if you can get it all back to white it’ll make the next part go way better! Once clean get some low viscosity superglue, or just the standard Loctite branded stuff, not the gel version, and dribble some into the crack, allow it to overflow just a little. Leave to set overnight, then carefully sand it back with p600 wet and dry paper, maybe even mask off the material around the crack until the glue is nearly flush with the surface. Once flat, polish with Paste polishing no. 5 until the shine comes back. Hopefully you’ll have a near invisible repair that you can get away without painting!

Regards
Lloyd
