    Latexses: Great LINK, above and beyond, a correct and easier way.....Holy Crap, Thanks

    Cy: it is a bummer, but bills gotta get paid, work has slowed down to a crawl, at least I'm home (I am a truck driver, haul auto parts, dedicated run cancelled)
    But enuf' whining about it,

    I have already told my family to steer clear of me for awhile, if I do sell it.
    I've owned it since summer '05, kinda welled up typing the ad here on Channel11, almost didn't make it thru the Craigslist, and never even started the fleabay ad

    Never had the time to do the cosmetics, now that I have the time, no Money!

    can we say F.U.B.A.R.

      Heres how I fixed mine. Get some fiberglass matting. Get some cement that addresses it is for ABS plastic, you can find it in any plumbing section. Clean the section to be repaired. Slather the cement on the wound, lay the mat on it and slather cement on it, make sure all of the mat has cement on it. Let it dry and finish like any other body repair. Fiberglass resin/cloth WILL NOT stick for long to plastic, I tried. The PVC/ABS cement and glass cloth trick will dry quickly and be very hard and strong. The cement will bond with the plastic and you can work it pretty easy. As usual, a very thin layer of Bondo will be needed to smooth things out. If you need to fill a crack, get some "powered" fiberglass, mix it with the glue and you can use it just like Bondo.
      When a 10 isn't enough, get a 11. 80g Hardbagger
