Default rod boxes

i found this product a Lowes calle Plastic welder. its a double cilinder seringe type deal. i used it on my big MK tile saw tray that came back from a friend looking like it had been through a war. whatelse is new rite . anyway It worked great ! i let water sit in the saw tray for 3 days , no leaks and the cutoff tile pieces falling on it are not a problem. so i guess now i'll try it on my rod boxes. but i do have one hole in the corner can i tape that from the back and if so what do i do with the front, Bondo ?

no just use the plastic weld to fill it. sand it smooth...... I've been fixing all sorts of plastic with that stuff for years.

I got a '77 cc last month that didn't come with rod boxes. So I have to make them. So far not really that difficult. I am using 1/2" mdo ply. Made a radius on the inside edges with west system with 410 filler so they are easy to clean. Finishing with britside off white. Then making new teak trim to finish. You might as well improve the design by making a box that don't crack,flex and has more meat to mount to. I can post pics as I get to finish. Trying post pics but not going so well. Seems that snapfish don't work with iPad. Any thoughts.[/IMG]
