Counter proposal, Aluminum Metal Duct tape. A dozen years on still patching leaks in my Quonset machine building despite a range of temps here 107°F to - 38°F. Smooth, thin, not sticky, just silver!

Go to a retail firm that supplies plastics and they have glues for each type of plastic.

You need a thick epoxy, not a super glue. Get JB Weld. They make several epoxys, and the strongest is the original "Cold Weld" formula. It takes a few hours to set up and up to 24 hours to cure, but it's incredibly strong (over 5000 PSI). Some mechanics even use it to make inexpensive repairs like exhaust leaks.
Right - JB Weld is excellent. The regular is better than the fast-dry.

"Plastiweld" used to do the trick on any plastic,your local hobby shop should keep it in stock.

If none of the above works, wrap it with black Gorilla Tape, then it will act like a shock absorber the next time it crashes.

My son had a small front-end wreck and popped a 1/4 inch hole in a new battery.i called jb weld asked if it would be OK to use it on a battery. The answer was yes but they told me to tilt the battery away from the acid,ruff up the area ,put the jb weld,place a patch on top.(used part of the handle),and put more jb weld over the patch and let it dry over night.i refilled the battery with acid and 4 years later we sold the truck still with the same battery.

After reading his thread over many days I think the main problem is the thickness of the break and lack of surface area. I would extend the repair material on both sides of the Crack and even drilling some holes in it to mechanically lock repair material in

I've found Loctite super glue gel to work on many plastics that others won't. Comes in a squeeze bottle with a long tip.

We used super glue and baking powder on our wooden props when I was flying back in the UK. Works great, it dries very hard and you can sand it soon after (in seconds) you apply it.
What I would suggest is getting some of that glue that you apply and then use the built in UV light to cure it. It also dries very quickly and is hard and seems to adhere to almost anything. I bought some from ebay and it works great on all sorts of materials.
