Fixing chipped plastic?

Post by Creebo »

Hey I just got my first SNES at the MGC. I was all excited when I got home, put in the cartridge, plugged in the controller, but whats this? theres a chunk of plastic that chipped off! Its about a 1/4"x1/4" plastic square on the bottom right round part of the controller (right beneath the B button). Is there any way I could repair this? I don't really want to buy a controller online or go to a pawn shop because I have absolutely no money.

A substance like bondo will probably be your best option , although the colour won't match the controller. Unless you're willing to paint it , that is.

Yes, any type of filler is fine; PolyFiller, Bondo; whatever fills and dries solid.
