Has anybody repaired polymer? If so, would you mind sharing what you used?

What are you trying to fix?
Is it visible?
Are you planning on painting?
Pictures of what your doing could be a huge help.
I personally use 3M's panel bonder on all my plastic repairs.

My son in law cracked the frame of his Glock. I thought maybe I could repair it then remill the slot for the slide but I think some epoxy will eat up polymer. It's cracked on the very back , on top where the guide for the slide rides. Thank you.

Glock polymer was nylon based ,not sure if it still is . I doubt epoxy would stick ,maybe an adhesive designed for nylon would work to bond the crack ?

I believe I'd contact Glock. They may just replace the frame for you, little or no cost. They try to uphold their brand reputation.

As stated above
They will replace the frame , even keeping the same serial number, most likely for the cost of shipping

If Glock doesn't step up, the plastic is kind of moldable with heat, a soldering iron might be able to melt pieces back together.

Worst case, get a Polymer 80 kit to make a new frame.

Glock polymer is glass reinforced nylon. No way to repair a crack. Send it to Glock.
