Plastic repair question

[RyanHeo]

Hi guys, I bought a starbucks water tumbler a year ago (last Summer). The tumbler has been the best bottle ever for me. I bring it everywhere (at work, class, gym, and camping). Anyway the bottle has been dropped a lot and cracked now.

I want to buy a brand new one but Starbucks doesn't make it anymore. There is one on Amazon.com but the price is $50 where it was originally $14.95. Anyway I tried to fix it by using a super glue. As you can see the picture, it is ugly and doesn't finish the job very well. There are many plastic repair kits on the market but I don't know which one will fit for the tumbler. Also I don't want to spend a fortune. Can you guys help me out? If anyone has the used(or left) repair kit, I am willing to buy it. I live in Champaign, IL, so you can calculate the shipping cost.



Thanks,
Ryan.

Don't know much about plastic repair so can't help with that, maybe someone else will chime in.

...but have you tried looking for a replacement on ebay? here's two i've found not sure if it's what you're looking for though. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Starbucks-Water-...=item27d5044b6b http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lot-Of-2-Starbuc...=item1e7c8d28c2

Generally speaking I find that plastic is non repairable. Sometimes superglue works for a while, until it doesn't! If you are lucky and the plastic is compatible with PVC pipe glue, then that will work just fine.

Epoxy, eg JB Weld is worth a try. They make more than one type.

I bought a marine epoxy and it works for me.

Thanks.
