I got a broken patio chair on my bench right now. My Aunt is a big ol' gal, and she decided to try to wedge herself into one of our plastic patio chairs instead of using one of the wooden adirondack chairs. She said it was because the adirondack style is too hard for her to get out of because the back has too much recline to it. She didn't get hurt when the plastic chair broke, well her pride got hurt a little, but still nothing to serious. So a couple of the removable chair legs got busted up pretty good, but I was able to find OEM replacement legs, however when I went to fix the chair I noticed that the plastics didn't match in color, and if there's one thing I can't stand it's mismatched patio furniture. Can the broken plastics be saved? Is there a plastic welding kit, or some serious adhesive that may work?

TIA for your help.
 
Hey Rooster you live in the same neck of the woods my family is in. Rancho Cordova, Citrus Heights, Roseville.

I heard of a guy out West, who may be able to fix you up. If not, I know of a guy in Texas who is a really awesome plastic welder. He hasn't posted in a while, but I'm sure you could get in touch with him if needed.
 

No problem........anything for a friend. :)

Kinda like you and Guido?

That's funny. Me and Guido sittin' in a tree....:heart:

I peck at Guido in light hearted fun. I don't persecute Guido like some mission statement.

I did get a bit ornery in one of his threads last week....and at least had the class to apologize.

Now then, as you were...some more, I guess...

But hey, :cheers: anyway.
 
To add insult to injury, they're trying to deny the claim. This was a new saw in the box as it came from the factory. Go figure. What's the point of insurance if they're just going to deny the claims?

Fed-ex are some ass clowns. I told them to deliver any time before 11am 3 days in a row they showed at 2pm. I called and they told me to drive to them and I said I'm about to drive my size 14 in your ass so maybe you can hear what I'm sayin. Long story short after I so politely declined to drive an hour to them I received the package.

I feel your pain Brad. I made a claim once that Randy Evans is a jerk, and he denied it. I know, right? What a jerk.
