4 Things to Know About Fixing Cooler Cracks and Broken Latches
- Cracks in plastic coolers can be repaired with a two-part epoxy designed for plastics, such as JB Weld PlasticWeld.
- Clean the cracked area, roughen it with sandpaper, apply the epoxy, and let it cure fully.
- A plastic welding kit is another option if you have the skill, but epoxy is simpler for most people.
- Broken latches are also fixable without buying a new cooler, though the repair method depends on the latch type.
