What should I use to fix a small fender crack??

[russell56443]

Hey guys,will Epoxy be OK for a small crack,no missing chunks or anything like that?
It is only about 2 inches long and it's where the fender bolt meet the fork,should I use something else?
Thanks for the info!!!!

I saw on here somewhere that a heavy test fishing line worked well, so I drilled mine about every 5mm or so and threaded 50 pound test through it, then I took 5 minute epoxy and worked that into the weave. After it dried I sanded it smooth and painted. It's still holding up 6 months later.

So the epoxy permeates the actual crack & w/ the stitching holding it together creates a bond that's THAT good, eh? I'm going to try that. Thanks! TGG...................

drill a small hole at the end of the crack to keep it from spreading.
