    no
    Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, thoroughly used, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming... "f*ck, what a trip!"

    Yes, as long as its keyed up very well. But it will crack over time. (come out if you bend it tomuch)

    What are you making?

    Cheers man

    I wanna reinforce the rear of corsa gsi plastic arches. I'm possibly going to fibreglass something to the back of them that I can then loop a cable tie through (which then passes through the wing holes).

    i would use a PU sealer like tiger seal to bond an eyelet or similar to pass the cable tie through

    There is a new glue out called 'sticks like ****' and it really really does might be worth a try

    As said a glue is better, or plastic weld something on to it.
