Fixed up my cracked shell

[thomaslaken]

Decided to open up my P3P for the first time today because I noticed a small opening by my rear left motor. I saw that the little place where the metal screw threads are molded into the plastic had fracked and came out. I used some epoxy and fixed it up. Currently waiting for it to dry fully before trying to put it back together. Any thoughts or comments? Thanks!

That's a good repair. Not sure you're out of the woods in the long run.

I figured I might as well try it instead of buying a new she'll right away!

I agree. I ordered a shell but will try to leave it in the box.

Epoxy isnt all that strong by itself. Next time, add some fibreglass strands or even a thinly weaved cloth. It makes an enormous difference. Then you could also use a lot less epoxy, just enough to soak the fibreglass.

Still, I imagine your repair will do the trick as well.
