I read an article on fairing repair in Sport Rider. Called a plastic supply house and got some Weld On #3. supposed to melt, then instantly weld cracks in ABS. Totally inert, did nothing. Our fairing is NOT ABS.

So what is it? What will fix my small cracks in my seat cowl?

IPS Weld-On #3 won't work on ABS as you found out. It's really made for acrylic.

It's strange that I can't find the markings that show what the tail section is made from. I know that the upper is ABS and the lowers are PPE (polyphenylene ether). By the looks of the breaks on my tail section, I would guess it to be ABS.

I would recommend going back to the plastic supply house and exchanging the Weld-on for something that is designed specifically for ABS.

Try this stuff it works great, I have used it.

You have a PM.

If the lowers are indeed different, and the upper and seat cowl are the same, I need to try again.

I tried on the lower. :oops:

Mine is made of dried semen.

.. the real question is who's semen? :shock:

seat cowl is abs
