Good morning!
This old Wright GS5020 (116cc) had the handle broken off the back so I aluminum brazed the handle parts back on and put a kit in the carb. You can see the reciprocating action of the blade in the slow motion clip.

I forget they make a plastic welder that uses hot air. We've got one but never used it but 2times.

Any good fixing ideas?

Plastic welder.
I have a Leister that I would loan to you.
I also have several kinds of filler rod.
It uses hot air to heat it up, and then you add filler rod.
It will have to be thoroughly cleaned. And then welded shut. If there is room, then I would try to add some extra filler and/or a patch over it to spread out the stress.
PM me if you're interested.

Looks good!
Have you tried it in wood?

This video is a bit obnoxious, but it demonstrates the "pendulum welding" technique that you would use.

That’s what I use. It’s not pretty, but works on small cracks.

I'll try it soon.......when I can take enough time to wait for it to "scratch" it's way through a log. [emoji39]

Not sure Mark..
Wood looks like pear, but being a bastardized hybrid, it could be poor..

This is what I use:

Thoroughly clean the area! Acetone would be my solvent of choice. Slightly rough up the area and V out the crack a little.
If you can get to the back side seal it also, but I guessing you can't.

You have several options. Good Luck!

I tried to give some to a couple guys that smoke (for competition and restaurant purposes). They both laughed at me. I wouldn't use it if you have other good cooking wood.

I have had good luck with JB weld on truck diesel fuel tanks and pontoon boat pontoons. I have accidentally fused cell phones and radios together with Methylene Chloride. Makes batteries and buttons fused together permanently.

It's probably just gonna go in the bay with the rest of the mix to be stove wood.

Morning midlanders!

Waiting on a pair of tires at Walley World. [emoji42]

Good morning. Thanks for the ideas. I'll see what I can't catch on fire. If that doesn't work I'll get in touch with you Jason.
