Well, maybe not street cred, but definitely list cred :-) Greg

Then rig a clamp or jigs to hold the piece so that one of the broken off pieces can sit back in place without aid. Then I'd mix a bit of JB-weld and dab it all along the break, both edges. Then sit the broken piece on and let it cure. This will tack the piece in place. Then do this for the other break. Once you have a single intact part again you then begin reinforcing the breaks with wood, metal, and glue according to your master plan. You MUST reinforce the repair, the first gluing alone will be very weak. Won't take too much time, but there will be a lot of idle time while glue cures. You don't have to wait any longer than it takes to become firm, except for once at the end to let everything get strong. You get a lot more street cred for fixing something than for buying new. -- Jim _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
