topher5150 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 i'm working on filling some big holes on a center console that i'm using in my hot rod, real car. I'm using some plastic from the center console itself but need some advice on what kind of glue and enforcements to make to keep this hole covered up.

Bainford Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 You could fill the hole with something superficial, pull a mold from it, and make a new one from fibre glass without the hole. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtx6970 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Use same material . Cut up small pieces and drop them in a jar of acetone to make a glue like consistency mixture. Cut some pieces to fill the bulk of the hole and glue in from front and backside. Once dry....sand and paint. I've used this method to fix multiple plastic grills in old cars 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace-Garageguy Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 (edited) Depends entirely on the specific materials the console is made from. I do stuff like this for a well-paid living, and without knowing exactly what the base material is, and what the structure looks like, there's no way I'd make a recommendation. But that's just overcautious-old-man me. EDIT: Of course, my solutions always work, and don't crack or fall apart later...so there's that. I'm going outside to shout at some clouds now.
