[BaadAssGremlins] Hairline cracks..... "Doc"

["William T. Renshaw" <lionwren@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey Doc, sounds to me like your a very popular person here, and I 
have a question for you!! I got some headlight doors yesterday, they 
are used and not in bad shape. But, there are these small hairline 
cracks around the screw holes in the corners, and I would like your 
input on how to go about glueing the those cracks up.The cracks are 
accually on the main corners where they screw to the fender. What 
kind of glue should I use? I can not stand "super glue" I call it 
stoopid glue, stuff never works like it should and of course 
these "sausages" that I have for fingers gets more on them then the 
part that I am working on. LOL!! 
Should I use an expoxy type of glue? Is there a special kind of glue 
made for restoring stuff made of 25 year old plastic? In the past I 
have found that J/B Weld works good on stuff, whether it be plastic 
or metal. But, trying to get somthing back to as close to original as 
I possibly can....J/B Weld I dont think will work for this particular 
item. I thought about using some liquid modelers glue? I have built 
models in the past, in fact I have a Corsair that I havent touched in 
a few years in my closet that was and is starting to look pretty 
cool. What should I clean these parts with? They are kind of dirty 
and I know that I have to get them clean before any kind of glue will 
stick where its sapposed to stick. Of course I have taken into 
consideration that paint dont like to stick to glue real well. 
Anyway, your "expertise" on this little project will be, as 
always..greatly appreciated and always respected!! I got an eastwood 
catalog the other day in the mail and they have just about anything 
and everything under the sun from sisal buff wheels to polish 
compound. Have you ever used any of their products? Thanks Bill
