Before I start experimenting with adhesives, I thought I would post here. One of the stand off mounting tabs on this vintage Taylor Made boarding ladder cracked and then separated. My current repair plan is adhesive and at least bigger washers to help distribute the load. I might try a layer of fiberglass for more structural support. Long term options might be find someone to 3D print a new one, stumble on a NOS part, or install a new stainless ladder on the transom.
Does anyone know of what kind of plastic/polymer this late 70's/early 80's ladder is made? I'm trying to decide on the best adhesive. Epoxy? Gorilla glue? Something else? An electrical tape fix got us through last sailing season but I need to try a more permanent fix.
Thanks for your info and ideas.
