joining plastic to plastic?

Post by RCN »

my fiamma awning bracket that hold a leg to the awning has broken. it looks like it did this to the previous owner becuse you can see the glue they used, but i don't know what it is.
any suggestions for glue that will hold and also take the weight and wind placed on it?

Find your awning, note the number of the part you need and search for it in the search box then buy it :ok
