good glue needed for plastic handle

[farmermike]

I managed to break the tip off of the lower handle( I drove over it) on my buddies 029 stihl. Need a good glue to try and fix it. I know it's a long shot but I thought I'd try to glue it first. I know if probably won't work but thought it was worth a shot. Thanks for the help.

There is no glue that will hold the PA66-GF that the Stihls handles are made from. That material will weld easily with a soldering iron or hot air welder.

If you find something to work, could you take a stab at the one on my Homelite 540?

There is no glue to my knowledge but you might be able to "Frankenstein" it, depending on how it is broken.
I have repaired a few that way and if you can get it done, it will be stronger than new.

:agree2: done it tried it and it didn't work. To much stress on the handles.

how about some permatex 2 part epoxy?
or a new handle from ebay :msp_sad:

I left my old green Poulan on the ground while I went up in a tree with a hand saw.....

I forget what I used as glue on the larger pieces, likely Super Glue. For the rest, I used fiberglass. Ugly, but it worked.
