patching grill

Saw this done on utube. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yfCzBX409s
Looked pretty good. Didn't look up how much it cost. lw

That looks like some good stuff. A lot of guys here could use it on those almost-always-busted-off headlight surround corners.

Was that forming goo part of the kit? There's a product called Q-bond I was thinking about trying someday. It looks like good stuff too.

I looked it up and it is part of the kit, lists for 36 bucks. Not a very big piece though. lw

That's not a bad price, are you talking about the flexible plastic mould?

I really cut down the time sanding all the little squares in the grill by buying some emery board things that women do their fingernails with. Got them at the dollar store. 36 in a pack of course, medium, and fine. Cut the ends square with some dikes. Works real well and is fast. lw

Thanks for the youTube link, el dub!  I've been wondering how I would repair a piece of broken off plastic on the gray surround of a 1970 Charger grille.  This looks like it should work.  Also, have couple of broken fins in the grille matrix.  Wonder if it will work on that as well.  I was thinking of using JB Water Weld Epoxy Putty, which forms fairly well and gives me about 5 minutes of working/moulding time, then lots of grinding and sanding.  But this looks like it might be easier.

I have been making plastic parts for years using Por-A-Mold to make the negative, and Urethane Resin 2 part mixture. Cures as strong as ABS plastic.

Thanks.  Think I'll give this a try.
