I need to know what type of glue/resin/adhesive is needed to bond together a broken section of a side weathershield and not leave an ugly mark where the 2 pieces join. I have used 5 minute Araldite which lasted a whole day, useless as tits on a bull.
I know certain plastics need a specific glue to join them, I'm hoping someone on the Forum will know what I should be using, Thanks, Regards Frank.

depending on what plastic yours is Ive had sucess with loctite 404 and 454, the crack usually remains visable tho.

Methylene chloride is sold as a metal cleaner...The sign industry use it to bond acrylic (perspex) It may not bond now you have used araldite...you will need a glass syringe to apply it
