Broken 6025 prop blades and shroud, can they be glued back?

[jacmyoung]

Broken 6025 prop blades and black front housing, is there any glue I can use that will last? I know I can order new parts but if they can be glued back perfectly...

Roger, I remember you recommended something to glue back on the loose shaft, can it be used here? If so what is it called and where can I find it?

The prop blades I don't think could be reliably glued. The screen you can probably patch up well enough with either Tangit or model cement.

You are right Roger I tried different glues, the prop would not stick, what material is the prop? My guess the shroud is made of ABS? Do you have prop spare part in stock?

I do have the props, the shroud is primarily polyamide but it may be blended with other plastics, not sure. Polyamide is what we usually use because it if very resilient and doesn't shatter too easily.

Roger, since you have already shipped out my earlier parts order, before I order the prop can you tell me what kind of plastic the prop is made of? My guess would be polyethylene or some thing similar, difficult to glue. Still trying to find if there is a glue for it so I don't have to order it if all possible.

PE would be a good guess, but I don't know for sure.
