FYI (MEK = Methyl ethyl ketone (butanone), a solvent, used also to weld some plastics) paint department at hardware store or at paint stores

I have had success with a gas powered soldiering iron and strips of and old panel to use as weld.
I found it gives a better, stronger weld than using cable ties.

Used heavy guage staples with battery & gator clips to arc melt the staples into plastic then nip off ends to solid up crack , then use solder gun to melt the crack closed.. butt sometimes i like the franken stitch zip tie method for that mad max look!  |

The best thing for repairing your cracked plastic came from my wife actually. Acrylic from doing acrylic nails works amazing. File or dremel out a groove in the crack, mix the acrylic liquid and powder (follow the directions or ask your wife) and fill the crack in. Sand it flush and paint. Its cheap and very strong!
