Be Excellent To Each Other

I have enemies I wish to smite and I wish to know the best glue to disrupt their business. Ahem.... rather I have just broken part of the arm off my expensive chair. The arm is held in place by a thick piece of plastic with bolts through it. Both ends have shattered.

I've previously repaired one end with plastic glue recommended for most modern plastics, it works but it blatantly isn't strong enough. I need something that will weld the plastic as strong as it was when new.

So can anyone recommend a glue for such a purpose?

2 part epoxy resin might do the trick.

Off to Woolworths!

BLAST!

No More Nails.

I know a man who reversed into a wall and fixed it with no more nails. Still standing apparently.

There's your answer, then. Plus you can use the rest to stick Craster to a wall above a sharkpool, or something.

In all honesty you'll be lucky to ever make it work right.

how would you scratch yourself?

I glued it with the stuff recomended, it broke again.

It's now held on with a cable tie. Gah!

Cut and drill a new piece of plastic maybe?

It's quite a complicated piece so probably not.

The cable tie arrangement does work although the adjustment mechanism is also now screwed as the ball bearings it glided on went awol when it fell apart.

how old is this expensive chair?

3 years. When I say expensive, it's more expensive than a standard office chair but not as expensiove as an Aeron. It's a knock off Aeron basically.

ah. worth keeping though?

Oh indeedy. It's hardly showing any wear and is a sturdy chair. The arm only broke because, unknown to me, one of the bolts that was holding it on had come loose and all the weight was on one edge.

Today it broke as I was rocking back and forth like someone who was mentally ill and my glued repair gave way.

rocking in a chair feels like movement, but you're no going anywhere. or something

You literally type out everything that you think in your head, don't you?

Says Myop.

Yes, I was thinking about the delicious irony as I typed it out, but I still couldn't resist calling the kettle black.

Because I am a racist.

you calling me a kettle? Pot-ist
