Is it possible to repair a small crack in an ABS bike box with glass fibre and epoxy or some other resin?
The crack is on a corner. |

ABS is eminently solvent-weldable, using the same stuff as used for joining PVC waste pipes.
How easily you can use that to repair a crack, I'm not sure. Might need to add some material as reinforcement or something?

Amazon sell ABS sheets and solvent weld cement. 2 years ago our shower waste developed a major leak and I had to break it into small pieces to get it out but the glue I bought on Amazon welded it back together again and it is still working OK.
All the best. Roy
