If color and fine-texture match doesn't matter, what's wrong
with JB Weld or PC7 epoxies? I've had really good luck with
adhesion and strength. I fixed 2 - 3 Hornet dash gauge buckets
where they commonly split at the mounting screws, for instance. I
back them with thin sheet brass, everything roughed up with a
small very coarse file.
