Hi,

New to the forum and wondered if anyone had experience with repairing the plastic of radion lights. I recently received a pre-loved radion xr30 gen 2 and the corner of the top plastic plate got broken off in transit.
I contacted ecotech for some direction on what type of plastic glue they would recommend for the repair and they suggested to replace it or use "plastic glue" so I did really feel any wiser.

I know super glue will leave a horrible white haze on the piano black finish not sure which one to buy.

Hopeful this post will generate some ideas, sorry if this has been discussed before, I couldn't find anything when I searched.

I have added a photo of the damage.

Many thanks

Welcome to R2R!
Sorry about the damage to your light. What about a 2 part plastic epoxy?
I agree superglue can sometimes leave that white haze and it looks bad.
Also what about simply living the chipped piece off? Doesn't appear to be a large piece. Might just be better to leave it and let the light do its job :)
 
Small spot of superglue. It’s the top of the light. No idea how you’d even see it. Turn light around so that is the back side, if that bothers you
 
I am going to suggest super glue too. But use it like it's supposed to be used. Just a tiny, tiny drop. Don't use the gel type.


Welcome to R2R!!
 
Thanks for the help guys, I have found a plastic safe super glue and will use that!
