    Typical cracks on the rear tab on mine. Seems like someone used bondo to fix it. Gotta be a better way.

    What have you used? Thanks guys

    Permatex Plastic Epoxy. Tough, sandable, paintable.

    Devcon Plastic Welder. Stuff is amazing too. Also sandable and paintable.

    The JB Weld stuff is too runny for my liking and not as strong.

    Another vote for Plastex right here! Works great, strong, easy to build/form/shape parts.
