The Big Sale is on but not like originally planned, it is a by appointment type of thing now. Be sure to call before you come to make sure the day isn't already full with peeps scheduled to come in, and make sure what you want is still available.

I have a sheet of 1/8 ABS and I am fabricating a patch. I think my trusty JB Weld will handle the job.

Here we go
Squared up the area, and cut and shaped 1/8" ABS. Used heat gun to get the curve.
Decided that strength was needed so I am using small squares of sheet metal.
Covered the entire piece of metal with JB and clamped.
Also repaired a large crack down the middle with same process.
