Bobik96 Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 Has anyone solved this problem without buying a new holster. I'm thinking E6000 but want to solicit ideas from our experts first 😉 Quote
Stroker Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 Yup I had the same problem. One of the two things you can do is take the holster off and trim it a bit more,but by the looks of it you may not be able to pull that off. I could be wrong. Two is if you have the piece that broke off and little super glue and a piece of old white t-shirt will do the trick. Just put the piece back in a little glue to hold it in place then add the fabric. It's poor man fiberglass. I've done both. 4 Quote

Bobik96 Posted October 26, 2015 Author Posted October 26, 2015 Excellent ideas! Thank you. I just happen to have some fiberglass Matt and resin leftover from a helmet repair. Unfortunately I do not have the missing pieces. I do have some scrap ABS. Quote
Bobik96 Posted October 26, 2015 Author Posted October 26, 2015 Here it is after three layers of glass. It's not really noticeable from a few feet away. Before adding fiberglass I stuck the plastic together by wetting the edges with acetone. 3 Quote
Stroker Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Looks good! If it gets to buggin you just slap some abs paste sand and polish with novus. 2 Quote

Whereswa11y Posted June 20, 2016 Posted June 20, 2016 Hi, I've got a crack in a similar place on my holster. Did you only put the fibreglass on the back of the crack? Quote
Bobik96 Posted June 20, 2016 Author Posted June 20, 2016 Yes. Three layers on the back and it feels stronger than when it was new. Quote
Whereswa11y Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 Thanks. Does the fibreglass peel off? A friend of mine tested it for me but said that it seemed like it could peel off easily... any special preparation? Quote
Bobik96 Posted June 21, 2016 Author Posted June 21, 2016 I brushed a light coat of resin onto the plastic then placed resin soaked fiberglass. Dab the glass with a disposable paint brush to get The air bubbles out. There is no way it's peeling off. I taped the front so that I didn't get any drops of resin on it.
