FINALIZER HELP!!!!

[Noodle-Salad99]

Ok heres my problem.....i got my finalizer and there is a tiny crack by the bottom sidewall. I know if i dont do somethin, it will get worse, so is there like something i can do, mayb like heat up the section with my heat gun, or use glue.

[dlaxer]

nothing you can do, well, i think so atleast

[laxdevil666]

if you try to melt it back, you will void the warenty....so i dont recomend it...if you have a while left on the warenty then let it get worse adn send it back, but if there is no warenty, try melting it back together.

[Noodle-Salad99]

yea.....its dyed a little any ways so its voided....but will glue work?

[JustLaxn]

krazy glue

[laxattack8888]

A crack is a crack. I've heard of everyone doing everything to fix them, and well there really is no bulletproof way to get them back in one whole piece. Melting it is a strangely good idea, so go ahead and try it if you like. I also like the idea another kid had about using krazy glue on each end then pulling the two beams together in it. Once it is semi-solid again (in one piece kind of) then drill two very tiny holes in each bar just behind the crazy glue molding. Then use some fine, very strong wire through each hole to pull it tight, then tape over it and make it look like nothing happened. That's probably the most clever thing I've heard of doing.

You can use search, or better yet you can look at the Stick Tech FAQ (you know, the thread near the top of the list that says "Read Before Posting")

Here's your complete answer, courtesy of the Stick Tech FAQ. I know everyone whines about using search/reading stickies and not finding their answer, but in this case-the answer, in the most complete of manners, is right there.
Q) If my stick cracks or breaks, can I fix it?

A) In most cases, no. Your best bet, if it breaks, is to send it back to the company to get a new one. Don't risk trying to do it yourself, because whatever you do may void the warranty. As far as cracks go, I would personally just tape it up and wait until it breaks, then send it back. Warranties rock. This is why you keep your receipts. But if your stick breaks or cracks while not under warranty, there are some other things you can do that can help a bit, if not solve your problem. One method I use is to tape the stick back together, and give it a brace to keep it strong. This is just like a brace that you would wear on your wrist if you broke it. All you have to do is find a couple spare pieces of metal lying around, trim them down so that they fit on your sidewall well, then tape them onto your sidewall. Then tape your sidewall up some more, and you have a well supported head. It doesn't cure the problem, but it's the difference between playing with a stick and having it sit in the corner of your room collecting dust. Also, another solution to fixing cracks and breaks that has been discussed before is the use of fiberglass cloth. This is what surfers use to repair their boards when they break. Apparently, it works very well, but I have never personally tried it. Here's a link to a page that tells you how to fix a surfboard with it, and I think you can figure out how to do it with a lacrosse head. http://www.bravesurf.com/knowledge/...fboard_ding.htm Can't figure it out? OK, here's a tip. Every time it says "surfboard" or "board," replace that word with either "lacrosse head" or "head." See, I told you it wasn't that hard.

someone said that u can use crazy gle and wait for it to dry. then take soe electrical tape and wrap it around the glued are and then with a lighter melt the tape a little so it tightens on the are and i guess it works....

If you still have the warranty beat it against a wall and return it.

[Westhill lax]

if u still have the warrenty take it back and get a new one

[Noodle-Salad99]

No there is no warranty.....i dyed it and i kinda fixed the problem...i used some tacky glue n put like 5 layers on, then used some electrical tape n wrapped it tight n heated the tape a little to make sure it was solid and had a good stick to it.....does this sound good or is it just gonna suck in the future?

[Jmaxlax66]

Just play with it unless its screwin with your throw and cradling. Then just go to the store and return it if theres still a warranty.

[laxpro]

use apoxy it is so strong and will last for quite some time

[coach b lax]

use a high quality Epoxy glue specifically for plastics (lowes or home depot) and a furniture clamp or large C clamp
let it set 24 -36 hours

it will fuse it.

i have also drilled tiny holes and used 50 lb test fishing line. you need to know a fishermans not
