Cracked Plastic

[big tom]

Can anyone give me advice on glue to repair cracked plastic, the photo is of our bathroom cabinet bottom, and it just appeared. I cannot get to the underside so repair must be from the top

You are going to have to find the right glue first.
Good luck, I have a box of adhesives and solvents to choose from.
It will probably be dichloromethane from hobby shops.
Airfix glue.

Thanks Les,finding the right glue is the problem,I have tried unsuccessfully to glue plastics before,when I find the right glue I will do as ***** says and glue a full patch over.

Tom, Can't you use Sikaflex or similar

I have ordered this just to hold the cracks together for now,I don't know what type
of plastic it is,.acrylic springs to mind.

I have used CA (Superglue) for those kind of repairs and it works well.
But the key thing is to use CA Gel. I buy this one - Racing RC Car Ultra-CA High Quality Tyre Super Glue 20g gel glue no dripping! | eBay and an Accelerant such as this - 400ml Bond It superglue ACTIVATOR Accelerator Adhesive Glue Instant super | eBay

Superb for plastic repairs and also Alloy Wheel gouge repairs

Repaired this Spoiler with the CA Gel. Customer was very pleased with result (not least as he saved £300 off Toyotas price!)
