Ropelene Repair
Thought we needed to start a thread on how to manipulate,repair, "weld" plastic. It is good to always save your scrap shavings when drilling holes or cut outs from installations. I have used heated Ropelene "plugs" to fill in holes previously made for hand rails on the cc but used a torch which is a little too hot and had some staining of the repair. Not too bad but I know there are kinder ways to heat this material. Dick and others, could you share with us the correct ways to use this material for repairs. I still haven't weighed my Bay 190 but how should I fix the crack developing in the hull? What repairs should only be done by "official" Triumph dealers, etc? I have never felt more confident working with a material, but sure wouldn't want to void warranties. So what have we all learned?
