cracked plastic wall paneling

6 years ago

Hello, I accidentally cracked thisplastic wall paneling and was wondering if there is a good way to fix this.

My best idea would be to use a suction cup to get it out and try to glue it together somehow. I've also read about plastic welding, but I don't have easy access to a welder. Before I damge anything, I'd rather ask if someone has a better solution.

If anyone knows how to deal with this and has the time to tell me about it, I'd be really greatful :)

Its toast. Put some caulk over it is about all you do.

I agree...nothing is going to restore that regardless of what equipment you could use. If you want structural integrity, use caulk around the edges and screw a rectangular patch over it. Won’t be pretty, but it will do.

kudzu's idea of a patch is a good one though I may opt for pop rivets in lieu of screws. I had a screw tear out from my vinyl where my flagpole holder was I just glommed (word?) with some clear silicone. I have a small tear by my front steps that is somewhat out of site and I may patch that.

I second the pop rivet idea :-)

Thanks alot for your replies. But it does not need any integrity. So it would probably look worse than it already does.

Still thanks for your ideas :)
