I've had very little success with that solution myself. The repaired piece still has a significantly different strength at the site of the repair. Plastics flexes when loaded. Repairing it this way just further stiffens the surrounding area and concentrates even more of the load on the repaired area which is now far and away the weakest point in the structure. It breaks again at the same spot usually pretty quickly. I'd suggest searcching for some of the boat "junkyards" online and trying to buy an old seat from them. Then transfer your foam and ulpholstery. I did that with one of the bucket seat in my boat. How about using the glued together seat to make a mold to build a new one out of fiberglass? |
