Need to sort out some cracks and broken bits.
So need to glue together. I'll be putting some support at the back.
Glue will need to be heat and water resistant.

I did think about using filler type stuff but that would be probably OTT for the little bits I need.

So just wondered what people could recommend. Rather do that that than believe the packaging or some salesperson banter.

Thanks in anticipation Thumbs Up

you can use superglue mixed with talc as a filler for the cracks, seems to work...

Plastech is pretty good, i have used it before.

araldite or other epoxy types glue should work also, or you could try to weld it with an old soldering iron and use a tie wrap as a filler

Plastech is good, soldering iron and cable tie is better.

plastic filler rods are best but cable ties can be used too

If you're going to use superglue get it from a double glazing shop. You get a big pot for about £3 and it's slow-setting, gap-filling and very strong.
