Any recommendations on other glues that may work? I was thinking marine goop. Thanks Charlie
I had the same problem using some JB Weld. I am now using Devcon Plastic Welder. This stuff is supposed to have a solvent that helps melt the plastic. So far the stuff seems very robust. I picked it up at an Ace Hardware by me. It definitely helps to rough up the surface with some sand paper, then clean real good with alcohol.
