Help....

Just after some expert advice on how to repair the skull plastic from my EATPM. My only option is to repair this as this plastic is very difficult to find worldwide?

Anyone have suggestions on what would be the best way to repair this cracked skull??? What products should I use for the best results??? any help would be greatfully appreciated for this novice restorer  !@#

I've attached a couple of pics...

Yeah, it's amazing stuff. It's strong enough to repair flogged out wooden kick out holes. I've even used it to mold/sculpt SS boney flippers and saved a bomb. Gotta work fast though, it sets up PDQ.

I used both methods in my WH20 resto here: http://aussiepinball.com/index.php?topic=1404.45

Kneed it is great but on areas where you need to keep the plastic translucent aryldite or a similar two part epoxy works well.

I'm thinking the Selleys Knead is the way to go, will have ago at this repair over the coming weekend.
