Just had some backlit reels shipped to me - 2 sets. 3 out of the 6 reels have broken spokes/wheels. of course two are broken right where the reel strips would be tucked in. I was wondering if super glue or any other idea could salvage them for me, or am I s.o.l.???  frying pan

I fixed one with Super Glue about 6 mo. ago & it's good today.
Make sure area is clean & no oils from you hands on it.

If they shipped them broken or they got damaged in shipping then let the seller replace them.

I will try the super glue and then test them.
I messaged the seller as soon as I received the box - lets see what he says...

Oh, seller said he would ship each set in a separate box yet all 6 reels arrived in ONE BOX!  wtf1

I cleaned mine with alcohol before I glued it.

Be careful where your strips go that you don't get extra glue that will interfere with strip fitting.

I've never had to fix reel baskets, but I've found that Liquid Nails is much stronger than super glue in the long run, and works great on plastics. It starts to set in about 15-30 minutes, but I usually don't touch the object for 24 hours.

As Ford said, it would be very important to make sure that there was no extra epoxy in the groove for the strips, as it would be solid as a rock once dried.

Just my 2¢

Depending on the work load they'll be under, I've used a soldering pencil to "fuse" broken plastic together also

I was able to fix all 3 baskets - one turned out really wobbly though. Seller is sending me a replacement for that one. Super glue is magical. Must say Ford's tips were crucial in not making a mess or screwing up the area where the strips get tucked in.  Surfing

Thanks,
Danny

Actually, most of mine wobble some and hum too. It's just not as bad as this one I repaired. My question for you is how the hell are your strips on that 5X pay so clean and sealed perfectly at the end of the strip??? Scratch Head I saw your pic on that best hit at home post you had a few days back.

Not sure about his, but 3M poster tape works great. I've also had some strips that needed nothing and overlapped perfectly flat.

Maybe the left over residue on the strips makes it worse. I have some strips where the dbl sided tape is hard as a rock and crusty as all hell.
