Was a replacement ramp and whirlpool made for Surf n' Safari? I haven't checked on the thread in over a year.
Quoted from Freeplay40:I don't think any of us have Surf n' Safari on our radar. Not sure what kind of plastic was used for it either.....May not be available. Guessing any reproduction would be different....maybe a transparent color or clear. Given it is a Gottlieb, Starship most likely would not be interested in doing it. JodyG has probably the greatest love for Gottlieb's but again any reproduction would likely differ significantly from the original....at least on the yellow ramp.
I see. I can understand there not being much demand for it, since there were only 2,004 machines produced. Is there a way I could maybe reinforce the plastic ramp and whirlpool you think with like a resin or something? They are intact, but there are various cracks at certain spots that have been taped.

Quoted from Freeplay40:The link below is to a plastic cement I use on ramps. It has the consistency of thick maple syrup. It sets up very fast....like so fast you need to put the cap back on the tube immediately. This a cement that is primarily for acrylic, but also works on many other plastics...it's what they glue aquariums together with. While it is good to actually get some of this stuff into the actual crack, I usually just lay a bead over the crack. It's really handy for reinforcing those lower edge entrance cracks. Sets up in just a couple minutes and fully cures in 24 hours. Dries clear.

You can also find it as some hardware and hobby stores. I get mine locally at a retail plastic seller.
Hi Freeplay, I know you gave this response a long time ago, but I had a quick question.
Most of the cracks on my Surf 'n Safari ramp and whirlpool are hairline cracks or they're very thin cracks. Would that bead method work for the hairline cracks?
