To fix a hard plastic break that will be lightly stressed. Any views? Is there another option? Thanks.

I am not an expert but I'd personally try something with a little more give than a brittle superglue.

I tend to use E6000 adhesive.

Araldite if it's a choice betwixt the two.

Nail repair kit, powder and liquid.

You're welcome. It's bloody good stuff although not as illustrious as Araldite, which was apparently used to glue the Sydney Opera House roof together and is also used to put Lamborghini monocoques together.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
