I bought the door pocket trim ring that was on ebay and need to do small repairs around the screw holes. What are some good ways to repair the thin plastic? There are some cracks and tiny chips, in those areas.
Thanks. John
John:
I'm not sure how severe the repairs are that you need. I have had pretty good luck repairing plastic with super glue then sprinkled with baking soda. Add more glue...more baking soda until you built up the surface. It dries very fast and hard, then you can sand or paint it. If the screw holes just need reinforcement you could use the washers shown. For recessed holes with oval head screws, photo 1, finish washers. For flat holes with oval or flat head screws, photo 2, trim washers. Or you can use trim screws with captive trim washers on flat surfaces, photo 3. Let me know if any of these would help you.

Thanks for the response Resonator. I was leaning towards trying the super glue/ baking soda repair. Depending on how things turn out, I will try either pic #1 or #3.
