Awesome stuff!

I plan on pulling out my cuda grille this winter and doing it. I suppose this technique would work for that.

Thank you!




Yes it works on Cuda grilles as well as most other muscle car era plastic Mopar grilles.

ABS thermoplastic resin is not engineered to be chemically broken down and reused/reconstituted, it is meant to be heated and molded under pressure (hence the term "thermo" plastic) and even when reheated it will lose a percentage of it's original properties each time. It WILL also lose some of it's original characteristics when melted chemically and allowed to harden, but the changes are subtle enough that it works quite well as a repair material. In some cases you could make small molded parts as suggested (I'd use a silicone mold as opposed to plaster) but the outcome and durability will be variable.
