Let’s Get Started on Those Mirror Repairs!
Alright, fam, let’s roll up our sleeves and jump into how to fix those pesky damaged mirrors.
Here’s what you’ll need:
Aluminum Tape
100 Watt Soldering Iron
Waste ABS Plastic
Acetone
Automotive Putty
Isopropyl Alcohol
Textured Paint
Step-by-Step Repair Process
1. Structural Repair: First, you’re going to want to use that aluminum tape to reinforce the damaged area.
Make sure it’s applied evenly and securely.
2. Soldering Time: Grab your soldering iron and carefully work on the structural integrity of the mirror.
It’s like giving your mirror a little workout!
3. Fill It Up: Now, take that waste ABS plastic and use it to fill any gaps.
This is where the automotive putty comes in.
Apply it generously and let it dry for about an hour.
4. The Finishing Touches: After it’s dry, use some acetone to clean up the area and then hit it with some isopropyl alcohol.
Now, apply your textured paint for a professional look!
5. Compare and Celebrate: Once everything is dry (give it 24 hours if you can wait!), take a look at your handiwork.
