Looking for advice on what to use to glue broken and cracked rear acrylic taillight lenses from my 1974 914. They are original Hellas and I would like to keep them.
Thanks for the help  |

I’ve used superglue. Worked great. A little goes a long way.

The medium thickness would be best for this job, the thin is hard to keep in place while drying and doesn't fill gaps. . (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) |
