Recommendation - EMA Plastic Weld glue for ramps etc.

[Asiapinball]

I got some of this EMA plastic weld glue recently and it works amazingly well for glueing together broken or cracked ramps and can also be used on other plastics. You just hold the two pieces together and apply a tiny amount of glue along the crack and capillary action does the rest. I used a non fluffing cotton bud/q-tip) to apply. Goes off in a few minutes and best to hold together during that time. If works by melting a tiny edge of the plastic so it is a proper weld rather than just a glue. Good for fixing up a players machine that you don't want to spend hundreds on new ramps.

2nd pic is a ramp that had a crack but was also had a completely broken off mounting hole. Crack now fixed and mounting hole secured. Still not pretty but now functional.

And another repaired ramp. There are actually 3 cracks in this one. One near each of the rivets and another coming off the centre hole. All now very solid - I can flex the ramp and it doesn't break.

Sounds great. I used to use a very similar product called Ambroid Pro Weld, but it became unobtainable - I'll give this a go

Also good for PLA and PETG in 3D printing. You really don’t need much do you.

Tiny amounts.
