Hey guys,
I just wanted to confirm, are a lot of the interior plastics actually polypropylene? I thought they were ABS and bought ABS epoxy (broke a tab off my tweeter cover) and that didn't bond whatsoever. Silly low surface energy plastics... I think JBWeld Plastic Weld works for PP - has anyone ever used an epoxy that worked? -------------------- taking too long to mod since '09

Even shaped new sections of plastic that chipped/broke off And sanded it down and painted to make it look just like the plastic too. Those haven't broke either
