FAQs
What type of plastic are these strips made from?
These strips are made from Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS).
What are the exact dimensions of each strip?
Each strip measures 10mm in width, 1.5mm in thickness, and 300mm in length.
Can I use these strips with any plastic welder?
These strips are specifically designed for use with ABS materials and are compatible with the Power-TEC Airless Plastic Welder (Part No. 91006). Using other welders may yield different results.
What kinds of repairs are these strips suitable for?
They are suitable for repairing grilles, instrument panels, consoles, armrest supports, street bike fairings, RV body panels, and storage tanks, among other ABS items.
How many strips are included in the set?
The set includes 15 pieces of ABS flat natural strips.
Do I need to paint the repaired area?
The strips come in a natural color. Depending on the application and desired finish, you may choose to leave them as is or paint over the repaired area after proper surface preparation.
Are these strips flexible?
While ABS has some impact resistance, these strips are generally rigid and best suited for structural repairs rather than applications requiring high flexibility.
Troubleshooting
Weld is weak or does not form properly.
Ensure both the strip and the base material are clean and free of contaminants. Verify the plastic welder is at the correct temperature setting for ABS and is functioning correctly. Use the recommended welding technique for ABS.
Strips are difficult to cut to shape.
Use a sharp utility knife or a fine-tooth saw for clean cuts. Score the strip first if necessary for more controlled cuts.
Natural color does not match the original part.
These strips are intended for applications where the natural color is acceptable or the area will be painted over. If exact color matching is critical, consider using a colored ABS strip or preparing the area for painting after repair.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Before use, ensure the ABS surface to be repaired is clean and free from grease, dirt, and old adhesives. For best results, prepare the area by lightly sanding to create a better surface for adhesion. The strips are ready to be cut to size and applied using a compatible plastic welder.
Compatibility: These strips are specifically designed for use with Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) plastics. They are intended to be used with the Power-TEC Airless Plastic Welder (Part No. 91006). Ensure your welding equipment is set up according to its manufacturer's instructions for ABS material.
Care: Store the unused strips in a dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to maintain their integrity. Clean any dust or debris from the strips before application. After application and welding, allow the repaired area to cool completely before stressing it.
