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.

Really thin to get in all the cracks and crevasses. Then gel type to fill in the voids. Thin coat after thin coat until the cracks are filled. Works like a champ. |
